Highlights
France faced their first deficit of the 2026 World Cup after Spain's Lamine Yamal drew a penalty against Lucas Digne.
Oyarzabal converted on the penalty to put Spain up 1-0.
France faced another early challenge when an injury to William Saliba forced Didier Deschamps to use a first-half substitution.
Spain continued to push the advantage by setting up a strong scoring chance for Fabián Ruiz.
Simón ran out of the box to cut off a potential breakaway from Mbappé late in the first half.
Porro got in behind France's defense after a passing play with Dani Olmo to put Spain up by two goals early in the second half.
Lamine Yamal seemingly scored Spain's third goal minutes later before the play was waved off due to an offside call.
France got the ball past Simón late in regulation but was unable to capitalize on the empty net before the Spanish goalkeeper got back.
France earned a late free kick just outside of the box only to see Mbappé put the attempt over the bar.
Spain closed out the win and will now prepare to play in the final Sunday at 3 p.m. ET in New Jersey.
England and Argentina are set to face off in their own semifinal showdown Wednesday at 3 p.m. ET in Atlanta.
