The Spanish national team defeated France 2–0, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro, and will play in the 2026 World Cup final against the winner of the England vs. Argentina match.
Luis de la Fuente’s squad secured a commanding 2–0 victory over France at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, clinching a spot in the 2026 World Cup final following a performance defined by character, quality football, and competitive maturity.
France initially tried to set the tempo, but Spain soon took control of possession and the midfield. Lamine Yamal’s pace proved decisive in breaking the deadlock: the winger won a penalty after a challenge by Lucas Digne, and Mikel Oyarzabal converted from the spot, putting Spain ahead before halftime.
The final blow came in the second half. Dani Olmo delivered a superb pass to Pedro Porro, who surged in from the flank with the instincts of a striker to beat Mike Maignan and score the goal that left the reigning World Cup runners-up reeling.
