when was the penalty denied protugal vs spain

The penalty denial in Portugal vs Spain happened late in the first half of extra time, when Nuno Mendes went down in the box and the referee waved play on. That match was the UEFA Nations League final played on 8 June 2025.

Match context

Portugal and Spain finished 2-2 after extra time, and Portugal won 5-3 on penalties. The controversial no-penalty call was one of the main talking points from the final.

If you meant a different match

There was also a Portugal vs Spain knockout match being discussed in recent coverage, but the clearest “penalty denied” incident I found was the Nations League final.

TL;DR: it was on 8 June 2025, during the first half of extra time.
