France v Spain - 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final result as Mikel Oyarzabal's penalty and Pedro Porro's strike send La Roja into the final

Have your say on the game's first big talking point below!

The Real Madrid full-back clatters into Olise and is the second player entering the book tonight.

The Arsenal defender's night is over, as he's replaced by Lacroix.

A pensive Deschamps looks on as Saliba goes down clutching his back.

Lacroix is getting ready to come on.

That was almost the last action before the game's first hydration break.

Digne had no idea where Yamal was as he inadvertently lashed out at the Barcelona superstar inside the box.

Oyarzabal makes no mistake and dispatches the subsequent spot-kick, despite Maigan guessing the right way.

France are a goal down for the first time at this World Cup!

Yamal is brought down by Digne inside the box, and Spain have a spot-kick.

The full-back can have few complaints there!

Olise is penalised for a challenge on Rodri, and was arguably fortunate not to be jotted down in the referee's book with his studs showing in that challenge.

Mbappe looks to pick out Dembele out on this right-hand side, but plays it just too long.

Spain have done well to restrict France space in these wide areas so far.

Baena's free-kick hits the wall, before Yamal's cross is headed clear.

The game is simmering nicely now!

Rabiot is penalised for bringing down Olmo right on the edge of the area, and gets himself a yellow card for his troubles.

Spain have a free-kick in a very promising position.

Barcola skips past the challenge of Porro and plays the ball off Cubarsi for the game's first corner, which Laporte heads clear.

Spain get us underway in Dallas!

Have your say below!

La Roja haven't lost any of their previous 36 games in regulation time, dating back to March 2024!

Extending that run today would equal Italy's 37-match unbeaten run in games after 90 minutes, set in 2021.

Lamine Yamal has come out on top in most of his previous meetings against Kylian Mbappe for club and country.

Opta also reports that Yamal has won all 11 of his matches when named in the starting XI at either a World Cup or Euros!

Callum Rice-Coates looked at how each of the four World Cup semi-finalists have previously fared at this stage of major tournaments.

Between them, they have played in 16 World Cup semi-finals, but more have had success than others.

Lamine Yamal has netted three times in his previous two appearances against France, which both came in semi-finals ties.

He netted a brace against them in the UEFA Nations League victory in June last year, and at Euro 2024 en route to lifting the trophy!

Can France overcome their Spanish demons tonight?

Les Bleus have lost to Spain more than any other team in the last 20 years, losing seven times in their 10 meetings in this period!
