Spain sealed their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final with a commanding 2-0 victory over France in Tuesday’s semi-final in Dallas. The Athletic reported that Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot after France’s Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal, before Pedro Porro doubled Spain’s lead in the second half with a clinical finish.

The result sends Spain into Sunday’s final against the winner of the England-Argentina semi-final, with France now set to play in the third-place playoff.
