Pedro Porro scored Spain’s second goal as they beat France 2-0 in Dallas to reach the 2026 World Cup final, capping a Player of the Match display that extends a remarkable summer for the Tottenham full-back.
According to a fresh update from Sky Sports, Porro combined with Dani Olmo for a slick one-two before slotting past goalkeeper Mike Maignan in the 58th minute at AT&T Stadium, doubling Mikel Oyarzabal’s first-half penalty and sending Luis de la Fuente’s side through to Sunday’s final at MetLife Stadium. Tottenham Hotspur’s own website confirmed it was Porro’s second goal of the tournament, following his strike against Austria in the round of 32, and his first international goals on the World Cup stage.
