Spain beat France 2-0 to reach World Cup final

  • On Tuesday, Spain defeated France 2-0 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, advancing to the 2026 World Cup final. Mikel Oyarzabal's 22nd-minute penalty and Pedro Porro's 58th-minute goal secured the victory.
  • Spain entered the semifinal boasting the tournament's best defense, conceding only one goal across six matches. France arrived as the highest-scoring team with 16 goals, setting up a classic unstoppable-force-meets-immovable-object clash.
  • Teenager Lamine Yamal drew the penalty that Oyarzabal converted for his fifth tournament goal in the 22nd minute. France suffered a defensive blow when William Saliba was replaced by Maxence Lacroix due to injury.
  • France coach Didier Deschamps' 14-year tenure ended with the defeat, denying him a third World Cup title. Spain will prepare for Sunday, July 19, at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to face Argentina or England.
  • Spain awaits the winner of Wednesday's semifinal between Argentina and England for the championship match. A victory would secure Spain's second world title after their 2010 triumph.
