Spain reach the 2026 World Cup final after beating tournament favourites France 2-0 in the semi-final at Dallas Stadium/AT&T Stadium in Texas. The match is decided by two goals scored by Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro. Oyarzabal scores in the first half from the penalty spot after a VAR-assisted incident in the France penalty area involving teenager Lamine Yamal. Porro doubles Spain’s lead in the second half, finishing a move after a one-two involving Pedro Porro and Dani Olmo.

Multiple reports describe Spain’s game plan as tightly limiting France’s attacking opportunities while controlling the midfield and reducing the number of chances created by Kylian Mbappé and other key French attackers. France manage only limited threat across the match, with Spain goalkeeper Unai Simón making important stops. France also face disruption in the semi-final, including injuries during the contest, and they fail to find a route back into the game despite late pressure.

Spain will now play the winner of England versus Argentina in the final.
