Portugal added the inaugural Nations League title to their Euro 2016 triumph as Goncalo Guedes's strike on the hour won an underwhelming final 1-0 against the Netherlands.
The Dutch defensive pairing of Virgil van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt largely kept Cristiano Ronaldo quiet, but Valencia winger Guedes proved the match winner as his shot had too much power for Jasper Cillessen in the Netherlands goal.
"I am sure this tournament will become a classic because it is a tournament for the entire European family," said Portugal coach Fernando Santos Sunday.
"To be the first winner will go down in history. It is a joy to have won the first edition, now we must continue to work and pursue further goals."
"They defended well and the were very compact in their game, but you have to be better with the ball and we were not."
