France’s dream of a 3rd straight World Cup final is over after a 2-0 loss to Spain in Tuesday’s semi-final. Dayot Upamecano performed the total 90 minutes in Dallas, whereas Michael Olise lasted 72 minutes because the Bayern duo had been unable to forestall defeat.
Mikel Oyarzabal’s penalty put Spain forward after 22 minutes. Pedro Porro then doubled the benefit simply earlier than the hour. France struggled to seek out their circulation in assault and create any significant probabilities.
