Spain reach the 2026 World Cup final after beating France 2-0 in the semi-final in Dallas/Arlington, Texas. Mikel Oyarzabal scores the opening goal from the penalty spot in the first half, following a foul on teenager Lamine Yamal during a Spain attacking move. Pedro Porro adds Spain’s second goal in the second half with a finish at around the 58th minute. Multiple reports describe Spain’s game plan as controlling the midfield and limiting France’s chances, with France managing only limited effective threat and low output on target in some accounts. France’s attacking options are repeatedly disrupted, and several sources note periods of French pressure late in the first half, but Spain’s defense holds. France also face setbacks during the match, including the departure of a key central defender due to injury. Spain close out the win without conceding, sending them to their first World Cup final since winning in 2010. In the final, Spain will face either Argentina or England, depending on the other semi-final result.
