PORTO, Portugal (Reuters) - Portugal became the first team to win UEFA's Nations League competition when a well-crafted goal by Goncalo Guedes gave them a 1-0 win over Netherlands in the final on Sunday. Although the Nations League is of far less importance, the win may have partially made up for Euro 2004 which Portugal hosted and where they were beaten in the final by Greece. Portugal extended their unbeaten record to 10 matches since losing to Uruguay at the last World Cup. The Dutch -- who had one day less to recover from their semi-final than Portugal -- failed to muster a shot on target in the first half. Portugal, though, were always a threat on the break and richly deserved the win.
