Spain are through to the FIFA World Cup final after beating France 2-0 in the first semi-final of the tournament at Dallas Stadium.
The result, recorded in FIFA's official match schedule and results, confirmed Spain's place in the showpiece fixture and ended France's attempt to reach the final. The match was played on 14 July at the Arlington venue being used as Dallas Stadium for the competition.
France now move into the bronze-medal match, while Spain await the outcome of the second semi-final to learn their final opponents. FIFA's record identifies the fixture as the first of the tournament's two semi-finals, placing the result at the start of the closing sequence of the competition.
The 2-0 scoreline gives Spain a clear route into the final without the need for extra time or penalties being recorded in the supplied official account. No scorers, timings or disciplinary details were included in the evidence available for this report.
For France, the defeat changes the focus from a possible world title to the third-place contest. Their tournament continues, but the loss in Dallas means their place in the final has gone to Spain.
The result will carry particular interest across the United Kingdom because it sets one side of the final bracket while the other semi-final remains to determine who joins Spain. On the evidence supplied by FIFA, the central fact is straightforward: Spain won 2-0, advanced to the final, and France were directed into the bronze-medal fixture.
