Volkswacht Bodensee - Spain enjoy goalfest against Portugal in women's Nations League as France edge Norway

In Vigo, world champions Spain flew out of the traps as Salma Paralluelo opened the scoring on two minutes.

Double-reigning women's Ballon d'Or Aitana Bonmati flighted in a sublime second six minutes later, before adding a third on 12 minutes.

Alexia Putellas, the only other woman to hold two Ballon d'Or awards, scored Spain's fourth two minutes before the half-hour.

Spain showed their ruthless side after the break as Mariona Caldentey slotted in a fifth in the 47th minute.

Putellas continued the rout on 51 minutes as she showcased her class with a perfect take on the turn inside the box and composed finish.

Esther Gonzalez completed the scoring for the Spanish on the hour, before Pina Fonseca scored a consolation for the visitors with 19 minutes remaining.

The result left Spain top of Group A3, but European champions England can reclaim top spot later when they travel to Belgium.

France won 2-0 in the Norwegian capital thanks to two goals inside the final 15 minutes courtesy of Sandy Baltimore and Clara Mateo.

The deadlock on a tense affair was broke in the 76th minute by Baltimore after a one-two with team-mate Grace Geyoro.

Mateo then made the game safe for France moments after entering the field of play as she headed in a second on 85 minutes.

Frida Maanum struck the bar for Norway shortly afterwards, but Laurent Bonadei's side held on to remain the only team in League A to boast a 100 percent record.

France sit atop Group A2 on a perfect 12 points. Norway are second on four points, while Iceland and Switzerland, who drew 3-3, complete the pool.

In Group A1, Germany produced a barnstorming second half to romp to a 6-1 victory over Scotland in Wolfsburg.

Real Madrid playmaker Caroline Weir gave the visitors a shock half-time lead when she tapped home following a goalkeeping error in the 41st minute.

Selina Cerci scored two in six minutes to flip the match on its head before the hour.

Giovanna Hoffmann grabbed a brace in the 64th and 65th minutes, before Laura Freigang added a fifth with a cute backheeled finish two minutes later.

Hoffenheim forward Cerci completed her hat-trick with 14 minutes remaining when she fired a fierce strike into the top corner.

Germany top their group with 10 points, with the Netherlands second on goal difference after they defeated Austria 3-1.

Austria went ahead on nine minutes before Wieke Kaptein equalised a minute later. Danielle van de Donk and Vivianne Miedema netted in the second half for the Dutch.

Sweden stayed top of Group A4 despite a 1-1 draw at home to Wales, while Italy sit second on six points after they won 3-0 in Denmark.
