SPAIN 2 France 0

  DALLAS, United States | Xinhua |  Spain beat France 2-0 on Tuesday to book its place in the FIFA World Cup final, with Mikel Oyarzabal converting a first-half penalty before Pedro Porro sealed the victory after the break. The reigning European champion will face either England or Argentina, who meet in Wednesday’s other semifinal, as Spain bids to lift the World Cup trophy for only the second time in its history. A Mikel Oyarzabal penalty gave Spain a 1-0 lead. Oyarzabal converted from the spot in the 22nd minute after Lucas Digne fouled Lamine Yamal in the box. Digne tried to deal with an awkward bouncing ball, but Yamal, a day after turning 19, darted in from behind inside the penalty area. Digne’s attempted clearance caught Yamal, sending him to the ground. It was only the third goal allowed by the world’s top-ranked team. One other soon followed.
