Spain Stuns France 2-0 to Reach 2026 World Cup Final
Spain triumphed over France with a 2-0 victory in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, securing their spot in the final for the second time in history, the first being in South Africa 2010. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring with a penalty in the 22nd minute after Luca Digne fouled Lamin Yamal inside the box.
Despite Kylian Mbappé's efforts, including his eighth goal of the tournament, the French team could not find the net. Spain's confidence grew throughout the match, with Rodri playing a pivotal role in midfield, effectively stifling the French attack.
Pedro Porro sealed the win with a second goal in the 58th minute, following an injury to William Saliba that compounded France's difficulties. Coach Luis de la Fuente aims to lead Spain to victory in the upcoming Euro 2024, while France will compete in the third-place playoff.
