Despite entering the match with an explosive attack led by Kylian Mbappé, Les Bleus struggled to find their rhythm against a heavily disciplined Spanish side. The breakthrough for Spain came early in the first half. In the 22nd minute, Spanish winger Lamine Yamal was brought down in the box by French defender Lucas Digne. Mikel Oyarzabal confidently stepped up to the penalty spot and smashed the ball past goalkeeper Mike Maignan to give La Roja a 1-0 advantage.
France aggressively tried to respond, but Spain’s defense held firm, frustrating the French forwards and forcing rushed errors. In the second half, Spain doubled their lead. Right-back Pedro Porro started a brilliant attacking move, playing a quick one-two pass with Dani Olmo before coolly slotting his shot around Maignan in the 58th minute.
France threw on attacking substitutes, but they couldn’t break through Spain’s impenetrable backline. With this dominant 2-0 shutout, Spain extends their incredible unbeaten streak and advances to the grand finale to fight for the ultimate crown.
