Spain Beat France 2-0 to Reach World Cup Final

Spain booked their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 Final after a convincing 2-0 victory over France in Tuesday’s semi-final in Dallas. Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro sealed the win and sent La Furia Roja into their first World Cup final since 2010, while ending France’s hopes of lifting a third world title.

The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when Mikel Oyarzabal calmly converted a penalty after Lucas Digne brought down Lamine Yamal inside the box. The early goal gave Spain control and forced France to chase the game for the first time in the tournament.

Spain strengthened their grip on the contest in the 58th minute. Pedro Porro combined brilliantly with Dani Olmo before firing a composed right-footed finish beyond Mike Maignan to double his side’s advantage. The goal effectively put the result beyond doubt and highlighted Spain’s confidence throughout the match.

The FIFA World Cup 2026 Final now awaits Spain, who produced a disciplined and organised performance from start to finish. Their defence successfully contained France’s dangerous attacking trio of Kylian Mbappe, Michael Olise and Ousmane Dembele, preventing them from creating meaningful scoring opportunities.

Spain’s dominance on both ends of the pitch reflected their determination to return to the top of world football. With this victory, they will compete in only their second FIFA World Cup 2026 Final, hoping to add another global title to the one they won in 2010.

France, meanwhile, saw their impressive campaign come to an end after struggling to break down a well-drilled Spanish side that controlled the game with confidence and composure.

Can Spain complete their remarkable journey by lifting the FIFA World Cup 2026 trophy in the final?
