Spain booked their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final with a superb 2-0 victory over France in a gripping semi-final. La Roja took control of the contest in the first half when Mikel Oyarzabal calmly converted a penalty after Lamine Yamal was brought down inside the area. Spain dominated possession and dictated the tempo, while France struggled to create clear-cut opportunities despite boasting an attack led by Kylian Mbappé.

Spain sealed the win in the second half through Pedro Porro, who finished a flowing move after an excellent assist from Dani Olmo. France pushed for a response but were repeatedly denied by Spain's disciplined defence and goalkeeper Unai Simón. The victory sends Spain into the World Cup final, where they will face the winner of the second semi-final, while France must now regroup ahead of the third-place play-off.
