Spain produced a dominant display to defeat France 2-0 in the first semifinal of the FIFA World Cup 2026, securing their place in the final. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot after Lamine Yamal won a foul, before Pedro Porro doubled Spain's advantage with a well-worked second-half goal. France, led by Kylian Mbappé, struggled to break down Spain's disciplined defence despite creating a few late opportunities. The victory marks Spain's first World Cup final appearance since 2010. They will now face the winner of the England vs Argentina semifinal in the title clash, while France will play the third-place playoff. (PC: Reuters)
