"We needed more patience when we got to the danger zone and, from there, to try to take advantage of the space out wide," Portugal head coach Fernando Santos said.
"Thank God. I'm very happy, despite being sad about the result. I'm very happy because a Portugal draw with Spain is just an interesting result. Of course, it's not a good result for us,
"But still good for us, for the working of this group, which leads people to believe that we can do more."
