France vs Spain Highlights, FIFA World Cup 2026 Semi-Final: FRA 0-2 ESP At Full-Time | Porro, Oyarzabal Lead La Roja To World Cup Final

France vs Spain AS IT HAPPENED, FIFA World Cup 2026: Luis de la Fuente masterminded a tactical masterclass as Spain beat France 2-0 in Dallas Stadium to reach the FIFA World Cup 2026 final. Les Bleus’ hopes of a third successive final were dashed, with the suffocating midfield dominance of La Roja exposed.

Spain took the lead in the 22nd minute. The ever-dangerous Lamine Yamal forced a costly defensive mistake in the penalty area, allowing Mikel Oyarzabal to step up and calmly slot the ball past Mike Maignan. France’s troubles were compounded when star centre back William Saliba went off injured, forcing an early tactical reshuffle.

Les Bleus had a hard time feeding Kylian Mbappé, with Rodri dictating the tempo to perfection and snuffing out French transitions. Spain sealed the victory in the 58th minute when flying right-back Pedro Porro pushed forward, linked up brilliantly with Dani Olmo and fired a spectacular strike into the top corner.

Spain had few problems in the closing stages to book their place in Sunday’s showpiece at MetLife Stadium, while Didier Deschamps’ men head to the third-place playoff.
