An unexpected protagonist revives France’s worst nightmare
France was attempting to respond against Spain when a brilliant combination reminded Les Bleus of one of the most painful episodes in their World Cup history. The move brought La Roja closer to the world title.
Pedro Porro extended Spain’s lead
Pedro Porro scored Spain’s second goal against France during the 2026 FIFA World Cup semifinal and secured La Roja’s place in the final.
The Spanish full-back appeared in the 58th minute to finish off a brilliant team move that began on the left flank. Dani Olmo received the ball inside the penalty area and assisted Porro, who arrived from deep and finished precisely past the French goalkeeper.
The Tottenham player celebrated one of the most important goals of his career as Spain confirmed the dominance they had shown for much of the match.
Spain advance to the World Cup final
Spain will play in another World Cup final, recalling their historic triumph in South Africa in 2010, when they were crowned champions after defeating the Netherlands.
Pedro Porro’s performance and Spain’s dominance throughout the match sealed their place in the final, where they will now attempt to lift the most important trophy in world soccer once again.
