Spain dismantled France in Dallas on Tuesday, winning 2-0 to book a place in their first World Cup final since 2010. They will meet either England or Argentina in the showpiece match in New Jersey on Sunday.

Spain's dominant display

Rodri was the standout performer of the night, putting in an outstanding display as Spain's captain suffocated France's midfield from the first whistle to the last. BBC Sport's Neil Johnston awarded him a 9 — the highest rating of the evening.

Pedro Porro scored a wonderful goal to put Spain on their way, a strike that sealed his country's return to a World Cup final for the first time in 15 years. The right-back now has three goal involvements at this tournament.

Mikel Oyarzabal added a fifth goal of a remarkable World Cup campaign with a cool penalty finish, holding his nerve despite a lengthy delay between the award and the spot-kick being taken.

Lamine Yamal, who had struggled to consistently produce his best form during the tournament, came alive in the semi-final. The 19-year-old won the penalty that opened the scoring and had a goal ruled out for offside. Johnston awarded him an 8.

Aymeric Laporte was commanding throughout, ending the match with a passing accuracy of more than 90 percent and earning an 8 from Johnston. Unai Simon kept a sixth clean sheet in seven matches, making one crucial rushing clearance to deny Kylian Mbappe an early opportunity.

A night to forget for France

France, who had looked defensively solid throughout the tournament, were bullied in midfield and failed to respond after falling behind for the first time at this World Cup.

Mbappe — who had set the tournament alight with his finishing — managed just two touches inside Spain's penalty area in the first half and posed little threat overall. Johnston gave him a 5.

Ousmane Dembele, the Ballon d'Or winner, was equally ineffective and could not impose himself as Spain bossed the contest. Dembele also received a 5.

Adrien Rabiot was fortunate to remain on the pitch after fouling Fabian Ruiz having already been booked for an early challenge on Dani Olmo. He was replaced at half-time and rated just 4 by Johnston.

Michael Olise, who had been one of France's brightest sparks at the tournament with his assists, chose the semi-final to produce his worst performance. He was also fortunate to avoid a booking for a late first-half foul on Rodri and received a 5.

William Saliba limped off injured — with no contact from any opponent — after Spain had scored. Johnston described it as a desperately sad end to the Arsenal centre-half's World Cup and rated him 6, the highest score among France's starters.

Lucas Digne conceded the penalty from which Spain took the lead, kicking Lamine Yamal inside the area. He was rated 5.

Spain march on to New Jersey

Spain's substitutes helped see the game out efficiently. Ferran Torres, Mikel Merino, and Pedri all came on in the final quarter of the match to ensure France were restricted to a handful of chances late on.

Spain now await the winner of the second semi-final between England and Argentina, with the World Cup final set to take place in New Jersey on Sunday.
