France had won by multiple goals in all but one of their six victories leading into the semifinal, a Round of 16 win over Paraguay. In seven World Cup games, they only allowed a total of four goals.
Spain’s first goal in the semifinal came off a critical mistake. Veteran defender Lucas Digne misread the ball and challenged a ball on a cross, but kicked Lamine Yamal instead, committing a foul giving Spain a penalty kick in the 22nd minute.
Mikel Oyarzabal stepped up for Spain and buried the penalty kick, giving the Spaniards a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
Pedro Porro doubled the lead for Spain in the 58th
