 Spain Beat France 2–0 to Reach 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.

Spain produced a disciplined and impressive performance to defeat France 2–0 in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final, booking their place in the tournament's final for the first time since winning the trophy in 2010. The victory came at Dallas Stadium in Arlington, Texas, where Luis de la Fuente's side outclassed one of the tournament favourites. �

Spain took the lead in the 22nd minute when Mikel Oyarzabal calmly converted a penalty after teenage sensation Lamine Yamal was brought down inside the box by Lucas Digne. The Spaniards continued to dominate possession and created several chances before Pedro Porro doubled the advantage in the 58th minute with a composed finish following an excellent move involving Dani Olmo. �

France,led by captain Kylian Mbappé, struggled to break through Spain's organised defence. Despite introducing fresh attacking options in the second half, Didier Deschamps' side failed to find a way back into the contest as Spain controlled the tempo from start to finish. �

The result sends Spain into the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, where they will face the winner of the second semi-final between England and Argentina. France will now compete in the third-place playoff. Spain's latest triumph also continues their recent dominance over France, having defeated Les Bleus in the UEFA Euro 2024 and UEFA Nations League 2025 semi-finals. �
