The Spanish national football team has rewritten international soccer history after securing a commanding 2-0 victory over European rivals France in their highly anticipated 2026 FIFA World Cup semi-final clash.
Played in front of a packed, roaring crowd at the Dallas Stadium in Texas, goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro earned La Roja a thoroughly deserved ticket to the tournament's grand finale.
According to OptaJoe, Spain’s triumph over Les Bleus makes them the first European nation in football history to win eight consecutive knockout-stage matches across major international tournaments, including the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship.
This sensational streak began during their flawless Euro 2024 campaign and has carried over seamlessly into North America.
Beyond their offensive fluidity, Spain's defensive unit under head coach Luis de la Fuente has been practically impenetrable. La Roja have kept an incredible six clean sheets throughout the tournament, conceding only a single goal after seven rigorous matches.
This semi-final victory also extends Spain's majestic unbeaten run to 37 consecutive matches in all competitions, pulling them level with Italy's historic world-record streak set between 2018 and 2021.
Spain now marches forward to face the winner of the high-stakes semi-final between England and Argentina in the grand finale at the New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday.
