Yamal Outshines Mbappé as Spain Beat France 2-0 to Reach World Cup Final

Lamine Yamal backed his pre-match talk with a standout display as Spain beat France 2-0 in the 2026 World Cup semi-final in Dallas. Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro sealed the win for Luis de la Fuente’s side. The 19-year-old won the penalty converted by Oyarzabal and was a constant threat down the left flank. He also tracked back well to help Spain defend their lead. On the other side, Kylian Mbappé struggled to influence the game. France failed to find a way past Spain’s organised defence, leaving their superstar frustrated. Spain have now beaten France in their last three major meetings, including the Euro 2024 semi-final and a Nations League clash. La Roja head into the final brimming with confidence.
