Summary

NBC Sports, which holds US broadcast rights, reported the goal as it happened. France, led by Kylian Mbappe, and Spain, built around 18-year-old Yamal, entered the match as the two most popular pre-tournament picks to win the World Cup. The winner advances to the final at New York/New Jersey Stadium.
Why it matters
A France-Spain final would be the all-European conclusion to a World Cup hosted in North America, testing whether the expanded 48-team format's seeding reforms succeeded in surfacing the best teams at the business end of the tournament.
