World Cup favourites France unravel as Spain book ...

Spain defeated France 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup semifinal in Arlington, Texas, booking their place in Sunday's final. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 20th minute after Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal, before Pedro Porro sealed the win with a second goal. France, the 2018 World Cup winners, were further hampered by a back injury to William Saliba, while manager Didier Deschamps is set to step down after the tournament.
