European champions Spain beat France 2-0 in the World Cup semi-finals on Tuesday at a sold-out Dallas Stadium, producing a controlled display to book a place in Sunday's final.

The breakthrough came in the 22nd minute when French defender Lucas Digne misjudged a clearance and fouled teenage sensation Lamine Yamal inside the box. Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal stepped up and coolly dispatched the penalty past Mike Maignan to put La Roja in the driver's seat.

France, led by Kylian Mbappé, struggled to crack Spain’s formidable defensive block managed by Unai Simón. Les Bleus’ frustration grew in the second half when Spain doubled their lead in the 58th minute. Defender Pedro Porro found space to fire home a decisive strike, effectively sealing Spain's second-ever appearance in a World Cup final—their first since their historic 2010 triumph.

While France dominated possession in the closing moments, the Spaniards remained completely unfazed, restricting Mbappé and his teammates to speculative efforts.

With this monumental victory, Luis de la Fuente's side books their ticket to MetLife Stadium on Sunday, July 19, where they will face the winner of the highly anticipated Argentina vs. England semifinal. For Spain, the dream of hoisting the ultimate trophy once more is now just 90 minutes away.
