Spain secured a commanding 2-0 victory over France on Tuesday afternoon at AT&T Stadium, advancing to the World Cup final for the first time since 2010. The dominant performance, witnessed by over 70,176 fans, saw Spain control the match from the outset, stifling France's typically potent offense.
Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro were the goal scorers for Spain. The victory extended Spain's unbeaten streak to 37 consecutive matches, a run that now ties Italy's record for the longest in international football history. Throughout the current World Cup, Spain has maintained a strong defensive record, conceding only one goal in seven matches and achieving an unprecedented sixth clean sheet of the tournament.
France, which entered the semifinal as a slight favorite, relied on its attacking trio of Kylian Mbappé, Ousmane Dembélé, and Michael Olise. However, Spain's midfield and defense proved too formidable, limiting the effectiveness of France's forwards. The match, anticipated as a close contest, ultimately became a one-sided affair, marking the third consecutive time Spain has defeated France.
