Spain defeated France to book their place in the tournament final, with Luka Digne's first-half foul proving the turning point.

The match began cautiously, with neither side creating clear scoring chances. Just before the cooling break, Digne brought down Lamine Yamal inside the penalty area, and the referee immediately awarded a spot kick.

Mikel Oyarzabal converted the penalty to give Spain the lead.

France pushed forward after the break but struggled to threaten Spain's goal. Instead, Pedro Porro doubled Spain's advantage in the 58th minute after a pass from Dani Olmo.

The score remained unchanged until full time, sending Spain into the final, while France will play for third place.

Spain's opponent will be decided after the semifinal between England and Argentina.
