Match statistics (Spain vs Belgium):
In a tightly contested World Cup semi-final, Spain secured a 2-0 victory against France, advancing to the final with a disciplined performance.
The match began with both teams exhibiting a cautious approach, but Spain took the lead in the 22nd minute through a penalty converted by M. Oyarzabal. France responded with urgency, dominating possession at 49% and creating opportunities, yet they struggled to find the back of the net despite registering 10 total shots, three of which were on target.
Spain's second goal came shortly after halftime, with P. Porro finding the net in the 58th minute, assisted by D. Olmo. This goal further solidified Spain's control, as they showcased effective counter-attacking football while limiting France's clear chances.
Despite France's seven corners and a determined effort, they were unable to penetrate Spain's organized defense. The match saw a total of 11 fouls from France, alongside two yellow cards, highlighting their frustration as they sought to break through. In contrast, Spain maintained their composure, receiving only one yellow card.
This victory not only underscores Spain's tactical superiority but also raises questions for France as they exit the tournament earlier than anticipated. The semi-final showcased Spain's resilience and strategic execution, setting the stage for a promising final.

In head-to-head encounters, Spain has dominated with 5 wins out of 6 matches against France, showcasing a strong away win percentage of 83%. The average goals per game in these encounters is 3.50, indicating a high-scoring tendency. In their most recent match, Spain won 2-0, with an xG of 1.63 compared to France's 0.30, highlighting the efficiency of Spain's attack and France's struggle to create clear chances.
Spain's tactical approach will likely focus on maintaining possession and exploiting the flanks, utilizing their pace and creativity to break down France's defense. France may adopt a more aggressive pressing strategy to regain possession quickly, but they must be cautious of Spain's counter-attacks.
