Spain defeated France 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup semifinal in Dallas. Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro send Spain to Sunday's final in New York.
Spain overcame France with collective play that neutralized the rival stars. Oyarzabal converted a penalty in the 20th minute after a foul on Lamine Yamal. Porro scored the second goal after a one-two with Dani Olmo.
Rodri and Dani Olmo controlled midfield while the Spanish defense limited options for Mbappé and Dembélé. France suffered Saliba's injury halfway through the match.
Luis de la Fuente said after the match: "Es un orgullo dirigir a este grupo, sólo los elegidos van a la final". Spain awaits Argentina or England in the final.
