Spain will face either Argentina or England in Sunday’s final in New Jersey after ending France’s bid to win a third World Cup title.

Spain took control early at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Mikel Oyarzabal converted a first-half penalty before Pedro Porro doubled the lead in the 58th minute with a composed finish.

Spain Control Midfield to Outplay France

Spain dominated possession from the opening whistle. Rodri, Fabian Ruiz and Dani Olmo controlled the midfield and prevented France from building attacking momentum.

Although Kylian Mbappe threatened on the counterattack, Spain’s defence stayed organised. Pau Cubarsi produced an important block to deny the French captain in the 16th minute.

Spain earned a penalty in the 20th minute after Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal inside the box. Oyarzabal calmly beat goalkeeper Mike Maignan to give his side the lead.

France suffered another setback in the 31st minute when central defender William Saliba left the field with an injury.

Porro Seals Spain’s Place in the Final

Spain maintained control after the break and doubled the advantage in the 58th minute. Pedro Porro exchanged passes with Dani Olmo before finishing confidently past Maignan.

Lamine Yamal thought he had added a third goal minutes later, but the officials ruled it out for offside.

France coach Didier Deschamps introduced several substitutes in search of a comeback. However, Spain defended solidly and limited Les Bleus to few clear opportunities. Unai Simon produced another key save to deny Mbappe before Spain comfortably saw out the match.

The victory sends Spain into their first World Cup final since lifting the trophy in 2010 and keeps alive their hopes of winning a second world title.
