Spain to the 2025 World Cup Final After Beating France 2-0

JAKARTA - Spain advanced to the 2026 World Cup final after defeating France 2-0 in the semi-final at the AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Tuesday local time.

Spain's two winning goals against France were scored by Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro, who was then named "player of the match" in this match.

Spain advanced to the final match to face the other semifinal winner between England and Argentina, while France will play for third place.

Both teams displayed open play when they started, but they have not created any dangerous opportunities.

Spain had a golden opportunity to take the lead after being awarded a penalty kick due to Lucas Digne's foul on Lamine Yamal in the penalty box.

Mikel Oyarzabal who advanced as a striker successfully carried out his duties well after his kick could not be reached by Mike Maignan so that the score changed to 1-0 in the 22nd minute.

Spain had the opportunity to double the lead, but his shot was blocked by the French defense line.

In the remaining time of the first half, France continued to look for a gap and tried at least to equalize, but until halftime the score 1-0 for Spain's advantage remained.

In the second half, Spain managed to double the lead to 2-0 after Dani Olmo's pass was converted by Pedro Porro into a beautiful goal in the 58th minute.

Spain managed to break France's goal through Lamine Yamal's individual action, but the goal, which was also beautiful, was not sanctioned by the referee because of offside.

In the remaining time, as reported by Antara, France continued to try to at least narrow the gap, but until the end of the match, the score of 2-0 for Spain remained.
