Spain breezed past France 2-0 in the first World Cup semi-final on Tuesday evening, edging closer to claiming the global crown. The European champions dominated proceedings throughout, dictating play from kick-off to the final whistle.
Luis de la Fuente's side went ahead before the interval when Lucas Digne brought down Lamine Yamal in the penalty area. Mikel Oyarzabal stepped up and converted the spot-kick with a powerful finish.
The Spanish doubled their advantage when Pedro Porro finished off a slick move, latching onto Dani Olmo's clever flick and calmly slotting home. France offered little resistance as Spain controlled the contest with ease.
Spain will now await Wednesday's semi-final between England and Argentina to discover their opponent in the final. The winner of that clash will face the rampant Europeans in the championship decider.
