Who won yesterday FIFA World Cup football match? Spain vs France - Who reached the finals after intense clash

Spain secured a commanding 2–0 victory over France in a high-stakes semi-final clash to book their place in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final. In a match filled with intensity, tactical discipline, and moments of brilliance, Spain proved why they are among the tournament’s most consistent sides. Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro guided Luis de la Fuente’s team into the final, marking only the second time they have reached the tournament’s showpiece match.

Who won Yesterday FIFA World Cup football match

Spain won the match against France 2-0 to secure a spot in the final. They will have their match either with England or Argentina.

The European champions are now just one win away from securing a remarkable double of football’s most prestigious titles. Their final opponents will be decided once England will take on Argentina in Atlanta.

Spain made the breakthrough after 22 minutes of play. Marc Cucurella delivered a deep cross into the French penalty area, where Lucas Digne controlled it on his chest. However, as he attempted to clear the ball, Yamal stepped in front and was struck by Digne’s follow-through, prompting the referee to immediately award a penalty.

For a nation that waited decades to claim its first World Cup, lifting a second trophy just 16 years later would signal the rise of a new Spanish golden generation, one led by Lamine Yamal and defined by a team that blends ruthless efficiency with effortless control on the ball.

With this win, Spain advance to the World Cup final, where they will face the winner of the other semi-final. The team will now aim to carry their momentum into the final and lift the prestigious trophy.

France, meanwhile, will reflect on missed opportunities and regroup as they prepare for the third-place playoff.

As anticipation builds for the final, Spain’s performance has made a strong statement, they are ready to compete at the highest level and are just one step away from World Cup glory.

England vs Argentina

The England vs Argentina clash is a massive FIFA World Cup semi-final, bringing together two of football’s most historic and competitive nations. With a place in the final at stake, this match is expected to be intense, tactical, and full of standout moments. The match will be played tomorrow 12:30 AM (IST).
