Spain Knock Out France to Reach 2026 World Cup Final

Mikel Oyarzabal scored a penalty and Pedro Porro added another as Spain extended its unbeaten run to 37 matches, officials said.

  • On Sunday evening in Dallas, Spain defeated France 2-0 in the World Cup semi-final to advance to the final. Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Tottenham full-back Pedro Porro secured the victory.
  • Spain extended their unbeaten run to 37 games while France's key players, including Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, and Michael Olise, were largely subdued throughout the contest. The European champions controlled possession and limited France's scoring opportunities.
  • Oyarzabal scored the opener with a 22nd-minute penalty after Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal inside the area. Porro added the second goal, exchanging passes with Dani Olmo before beating goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
  • France manager Didier Deschamps saw his 14-year reign end in a heartbreaking defeat, denied a third successive final appearance. Despite substituting Bradley Barcola, France struggled to overcome Spain's defensive structure and mounting frustration.
  • Spain will face either England or Argentina on Sunday evening in New Jersey for the World Cup title. The final match concludes the tournament after Spain's dominant semi-final victory over France.
