Spain beat France 2–0 at Dallas Stadium to reach the World Cup final for the first time since winning the 2010 title in South Africa. Lamine Yamal won a penalty a day after his 19th birthday and Mikel Oyarzabal converted past Mike Maignan on 22 minutes, before Pedro Porro played a one-two with Dani Olmo and swept home a second on 58 minutes.

Les Bleus mustered just three shots on target as Marc Cucurella made a crucial block on Kylian Mbappé and Unai Simón recovered to deny Désiré Doué after fluffing a clearance. Spain finished with 51% possession, 10 shots and two on target to France's 10 and three; Adrien Rabiot and Mbappé were booked for the hosts and Cucurella for La Roja.

Spain advance to face Argentina in Sunday's final at New York New Jersey Stadium — their second appearance in the showpiece after lifting the trophy in 2010. France drop into Saturday's bronze medal match in Miami, with Didier Deschamps' side still searching for a first World Cup win when trailing at half-time after Oyarzabal's fifth goal of the tournament made Pedro Porro FIFA's Superior Player of the Match.
