Spain defeats France 2-0 to advance to the World Cup final

Spain booked their place in the World Cup final by defeating France 2-0 in the semi-final match. With this result, France Head Coach Didier Deschamps left his position with a defeat, ending his dream of a third consecutive final. On Sunday, Spain will face the winner of the other semi-final between England and Argentina in New Jersey for the championship.

The turning point of the match came when Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal inside the penalty area and the referee pointed to the penalty spot. Mikel Oyarzabal, who sent the ball into the net, was the name that put Spain ahead early. France's effort and defense did not meet expectations, and Pedro Porro's second goal determined the fate of the match, increasing the difference to two.

With this victory, Spain got the chance to hold two major international trophies at the same time, repeating their success from 16 years ago. In the match where Rodri directed the play and Marc Cucurella stood out on the left wing, Spain displayed the most ready football of the summer period. France, on the other hand, left the pitch in silence, showing an image far from the strength they had in the 2018 and 2022 tournaments, where they became champions and reached the final, respectively.
