Spain produced another commanding performance to defeat France 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup 2026 semifinal at Dallas Stadium and book their place in the final.
Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Lamine Yamal was fouled inside the box, while Pedro Porro doubled the lead with a brilliant finish following a one-two with Dani Olmo. France, despite threats from Kylian Mbappe, failed to break down a disciplined Spanish defence led by goalkeeper Unai Simon. The victory sends Spain into the World Cup final, where they will face either England or Argentina.
Spain have now kept six clean sheets in seven matches and conceded only two goals in the tournament, matching the defensive standards of previous World Cup champions.
