I was sceptical about the Nations League but if it produces more games like that then I think it can stay.
It's how it was engineered, with only 3 teams (each playing 4 matches) and only one 'safe' spot, it's much impossible to have any dead rubbers.
(If team A win all 4 games then relegation/safety will be battled between B and C. If B win the first encounter then C can overtake them with a better win in the return leg, if the BvC game is a draw then CvB is all to play for, etc. If team A drop some points then the battle can be for the top of the table, or all 3 possible outcomes on the last game like today)

Decent, competitive game, good performance and a deserved win in what would previously been a dull pointless friendly. I was sceptical about the Nations League but if it produces more games like that then I think it can stay.
