Spain beat France 2-0 to reach World Cup final

Spain, the reigning European champions, secured a place in the tournament final after a disciplined 2‑1 victory over France on Saturday. The match, played at the Stade de France, saw Spain dominate possession and dictate the tempo, limiting the French side to sporadic attacks. A first‑half goal from midfielder Álvaro Morata gave the Spaniards the lead, and despite a late equaliser from France’s Antoine Griezmann, a second strike by forward Ferran Torres restored the advantage and proved decisive. Spain’s defensive organization, anchored by veteran center‑back Sergio Ramos, kept the French forwards at bay, allowing the team to maintain control throughout the 90 minutes.

With the win, Spain will meet the winner of the other semifinal between Argentina and England in the championship decider. The upcoming final promises a clash of contrasting styles, as Spain’s methodical approach will be tested against the dynamic play of either South America’s Argentine side or England’s high‑pressing squad. The tournament concludes next week, with the champion set to claim the title and add a historic trophy to their growing résumé.
