France were COMPLETELY SILENCED. Spain produced a masterclass to win 2-0 in the World Cup 2026 semi-final, smothering Mbappe, Dembele and Olise and booking their place in the final. Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro did the damage. Full recap below.

This was Spain at their brilliant best. In Dallas, La Roja took the lead in the 22nd minute when teenager Lamine Yamal was fouled by Lucas Digne and Mikel Oyarzabal calmly dispatched the penalty. Spain doubled the lead just before the hour, Pedro Porro finishing a slick give-and-go with Dani Olmo past Mike Maignan. But the real story was at the other end: the tournament's best defence strangled the most feared attack in world football, restricting Mbappe, Dembele, Olise and Doue to a barely-there 0.3 expected goals and never letting Les Bleus into the game. Yamal comprehensively outshone Mbappe — winning the penalty and even having a goal chalked off for offside. Spain march on to their first World Cup final since they lifted the trophy in 2010, chasing a stunning world-and-European-champions double against England or Argentina in New Jersey on Sunday. For France, the 2022 runners-up, it's a first defeat of the tournament and a drop to Saturday's third-place playoff, while Mbappe's chase of Messi's all-time World Cup goals record stalls on 20. I break down how Spain did it, the Yamal-Mbappe duel, and what comes next.
