Spain defeated France 2-0 in the World Cup semifinal, securing a spot in the final for the first time since 2010, according to N12. Mikel Oyarzabal opened the scoring, and Pedro Porro doubled the lead, per the report.
Spain defeated France 2-0 in the World Cup semifinal on Tuesday night, securing a spot in the final for the first time since 2010. The latest reports from N12 journalist Ben Goldfriend identify the second goal scorer as Pedro Porro, correcting earlier accounts that had named Ferran Torres.
The initial reports from ynet at 23:23 Jerusalem simply confirmed Spain's 2-0 victory. Shortly after, at 23:23 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported based on i24NEWS that Ferran Torres had scored the second goal, with Mikel Oyarzabal opening the scoring from a penalty. Now, at 00:07 Jerusalem, N12 reports that Pedro Porro doubled the lead, creating a discrepancy between the two sources.
As The Zioneer previously reported, Spain reached the semifinals by defeating Belgium 1-0 on July 11 and Austria 3-0 on July 3. The team will face the winner of the second semifinal between Argentina and England.
The identity of the second goal scorer remains unverified, with two different Israeli news outlets—i24NEWS and N12—offering conflicting accounts. No official match report or FIFA confirmation has been cited.
