Spain advanced to the 2026 World Cup final after beating France 2-0 in the semifinal at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, United States, on Tuesday local time. Mikel Oyarzabal put Spain ahead from the penalty spot in the 22nd minute after Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal in the area. Pedro Porro doubled the lead in the 58th minute after combining with Dani Olmo. France pressed for a response, including through Kylian Mbappe, but Spain's defense held firm to the end. Match reports said a Yamal goal was disallowed for offside. The result sends Luis de la Fuente's team into the final against the winner of the England vs Argentina semifinal, while France will play in the third-place match.
