Munich witnessed a thrilling UEFA Nations League Semifinal clash as Portugal overcame host nation Germany with a 2-1 victory. Cristiano Ronaldo's late goal secured Portugal's place in the final, setting up a showdown with the winner of the Spain vs. France match.

The game, held at the Allianz Arena, started with both teams displaying tactical prowess. The first half was tightly contested, with each side creating opportunities but failing to convert. The match was briefly delayed due to heavy rain and hail, adding to the drama.

Germany broke the deadlock early in the second half when Florian Wirtz headed home a precise cross from Joshua Kimmich. The young midfielder's goal ignited the home crowd, but Portugal responded with tactical substitutions that changed the game's momentum.

Portugal's coach, Roberto Martínez, introduced Francisco Conceição, Vitinha and Nélson Semedo, injecting fresh energy into the attack. Conceição quickly made an impact, scoring a stunning equalizer with a powerful, long-range strike in the 63rd minute.

Five minutes later, the Portuguese attack combined to devastating effect. Nuno Mendes delivered a precise pass to Bruno Fernandes, who then set up Cristiano Ronaldo for a tap-in, securing Portugal's 2-1 lead. This was Ronaldo's 137th international goal, further solidifying his legendary status.

Germany fought hard for an equalizer, but Portugal's defense held firm, with goalkeeper Diogo Costa making crucial saves. The victory marked Portugal's first win in Germany in 25 years and underscored their ambition to win their second UEFA Nations League title.

Portugal, who won the inaugural tournament in 2019, now have the opportunity to become the first nation to win the UEFA Nations League twice. The final is scheduled for Sunday, June 8th, also in Germany.

Germany will now face the loser of the Spain vs. France semi-final in the third-place play-off on Saturday.
