Spain is going to the World Cup Final for the second time in their country’s history after a 2-0 victory over France in the semifinals. The win came thanks to a world-class showing from Spain, with goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro.
France, looking to get back to the World Cup Final for the third straight tournament, was unable to get through a complete effort from Spain. Despite having superstars like Kylian Mbappé, France was unable to generate enough chances to overcome the deficit.
The first goal came in the 22nd minute, when a penalty was awarded to Spain after a costly error by veteran defender Lucas Digne. Mikel Oyarzabal stepped up for the penalty and scored his fifth World Cup goal, giving Spain the lead.
In the second half, France showcased some hustle, but Spain thwarted each attempt. Then, Pedro Porro’s run for Spain in the 58th minute changed everything, as he scored his second career goal for his country, giving Spain a 2-0 lead.
With the win, Spain awaits the winner of the semifinal between England and Argentina in the World Cup Final.
