Spain beat favourites France to reach the World Cup final
Spain stunned favourites France to reach the World Cup final with a dominant semi-final victory in Dallas.
Oyarzabal opened the scoring from the penalty spot midway through the first half after a lapse from France left-back, Lucas Digne, resulted in him giving forward, Lamine Yamal, an unceremonious wallop as he tried to clear the ball.
France looked set to fight back but Spain took control instead.
A slick one-two between Porro and Dani Olmo ended with Porro slotting home Spain’s second at the near post.
Spain remained calm, composed and full of class to the end and, ultimately, saw the game out comfortably.
For France, their hopes of making a third final in succession are over as they go into Saturday's third-place play-off which will represent the end of an era with coach Didier Deschamps departing at the end of the tournament after 14 years at the helm.
