Spain took a 1-0 lead against France in the 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final after Mikel Oyarzabal scored from the penalty spot. The penalty was awarded when Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal inside the box. Oyarzabal calmly beat goalkeeper Mike Maignan to give Spain the advantage. France created chances through Kylian Mbappe but could not score. Spain also looked dangerous in attack and controlled much of the early play. France suffered another setback when defender William Saliba picked up a back injury and was forced off. The winner of the match will advance to the World Cup final.
