England’s Harry Kane and France’s Kylian Mbappe have been key players in the tournament. Kane endured a tough match against Argentina, while Mbappe’s goal against Morocco was a highlight.

France had a strong run leading up to the semis, with multiple-goal wins in six out of seven matches. Only four goals were conceded in these games. However, a costly mistake by Lucas Digne resulted in Spain’s first goal from a penalty kick taken by Mikel Oyarzabal in the 22nd minute. Pedro Porro then secured Spain’s win with a goal in the 58th minute.
