Spain defeated France 2-0 in the FIFA World Cup semifinals to secure a place in the tournament final. This marks the first time the Spanish national team has reached the World Cup final since winning the title in 2010.
The scoring began with a penalty kick from Mikel Oyarzabal. The opportunity followed a play by teenage midfielder Lamine Yamal. Spain extended their lead with a second goal scored by Pedro Porro.
With this victory, Spain is scheduled to face Argentina in the final on Sunday. Argentina advanced earlier after defeating England 2-1 in their respective semifinal match. France's loss eliminates them from championship contention.
