Spain are through to the 2026 FIFA World Cup final after producing an impressive 2-0 victory over France in the tournament's first semi-final.
Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro sealed the win as Spain controlled large periods of the match, ending France's hopes of reaching a third consecutive World Cup final. The European champions delivered a disciplined performance to book their place in Sunday's showpiece.
Following the defeat, France captain Kylian Mbappé admitted his side fell short on the biggest stage. The forward described France's display as "sloppy," acknowledging that the team failed both tactically and technically against a well-organized Spanish side. Spain will now face the winner of the second semi-final between England and Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final. With their latest victory, La Roja remain one win away from lifting football's biggest prize for the second time in their history.
The result has further strengthened Spain's reputation as one of the tournament's standout teams. After eliminating one of the pre-tournament favourites, they head into the final full of confidence as they look to cap off a remarkable World Cup campaign with the ultimate prize.
