Spain are the first team into the World Cup final after defeating France 2-0 in an impressive and composed performance in Dallas.
A fearsome French side had entered as favourites but Spain nullified their threat with midfield dominance on an evening that showed their class. They took the lead in the first half after Lamine Yamal was brought down in the box by Lucas Digne, with Mikel Oyarzabal continued his fine campaign by converting from the spot. Things then got worse for Didier Deschamps’ men as William Saliba was subbed off due to injury, and Pedro Porro finished off an exemplary move of one-touch passing to weave into the box and slot home past Mike Maignan.
