Spain sealed their place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final with a commanding, tactically disciplined victory over France at Dallas Stadium.
Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro secured a deserved win, sending La Roja to New York New Jersey Stadium for Sunday's final, July 19, where they will face either England or Argentina.
France entered the semi-final with a slight edge and looked dangerous early on, particularly on the counterattack through Kylian Mbappe.
However, Spain struck first thanks to a moment of brilliance from Lamine Yamal. J
ust a day after his 19th birthday, the winger beat Lucas Digne to a loose ball inside the box and was brought down, earning his side a penalty.
Oyarzabal calmly converted from the spot, sending France goalkeeper Mike Maignan the wrong way.
Spain doubled their advantage soon after with a superbly worked move.
Pedro Porro combined brilliantly with Dani Olmo before firing a precise low strike into the bottom corner. The goal capped an outstanding display from Porro, who was later named Player of the Match.
France manager Didier Deschamps introduced young attackers Desire Doue and Rayan Cherki after the break in a bid to spark a comeback.
Despite sustained pressure, Spain's defence stood firm. Goalkeeper Unai Simon was alert off his line to deal with long balls, while Marc Cucurella produced a perfectly timed tackle to deny Mbappe a clear scoring opportunity.
The final whistle sparked scenes of jubilation for Spain and heartbreak for France.
Deschamps' side will now turn their attention to Saturday's third-place play-off on July 18, where Mbappe will have one last opportunity to boost his Golden Boot tally.
Spain, meanwhile, head into the final on the verge of history, having kept six clean sheets in seven matches while conceding just two goals throughout the tournament.
Reflecting on the victory, Player of the Match Pedro Porro said, "It's a dream come true. It's honestly beyond my wildest dreams. I think we played a great game and did everything we had to do to reach the final. We knew we were up against a really tough team. This is the team's achievement, not mine. Congratulations to everyone because they played a fantastic match."
France's Rayan Cherki admitted Spain deserved the win, saying, "I don't think we lacked solutions or desire today. They were simply better than us when it came to winning second balls and recovering possession. I think that's where the game was decided because if we had won more of those balls, we could have caused them a lot more problems."
