Spain are through to the 2026 World Cup final after defeating France 2-0 in their semi-final, setting up the chance to add a fourth world title to their history.

Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot before half-time. Pedro Porro doubled the lead in the second half, putting the result beyond doubt against a French side that had finished runners-up at the previous edition of the tournament.

France pressed for a way back into the match, but Spain’s defence held firm throughout, keeping a clean sheet until the final whistle.

Spain now wait to learn their final opponent from the other semi-final.
