21' Lamine Yamal scores a great long-range shot
19' Mbappe solo
Receiving the ball on the left, Mbappe dribbled past two players to the edge of the penalty area, then shot low towards the near corner but Nacho ducked to block the ball. If it weren't for Nacho, goalkeeper Unai Simon would have struggled to save it.
14' Jesus Navas dangerous tackle
Defender Jesus Navas slid on the field, hit Adrien Rabiot's right leg and he had to use painkillers for a long time. Navas received a yellow card, and VAR did not intervene in the situation. Navas, 38, did not defend well in the build-up to Mbappe's goal, and would have been sent off if he had received another yellow card.
Statistical
After 6 matches, 9.5 hours of play and 100 shots, France finally scored a goal from open play. In the goal conceded, Cucurella was criticized by Laporte for not closing in, allowing Muani to easily score. Cucurella has also been whistled and booed since the beginning of the match every time he has the ball.
9' France opens the score
Mbappe received the ball on the left, crossed it with his right foot to the second post as if setting up Kolo Muani to head the ball into the Spanish net from close range. This was France's first live ball goal of the tournament. This situation was identical to Fabian Ruiz's previous chance, and it is unclear what he was thinking when he missed it.

5' Spain almost opened the score
Yamal crossed the ball from the right to the second post for Fabian Ruiz to jump high and head the ball close to the goal but it flew over the bar. Yamal has assisted three goals since the start of the tournament, including one pass for Ruiz to score.

Warm-up players
Captain Kylian Mbappe will play without a mask for the first time since breaking his nose in the opening game against Austria. The mask affects his vision, but will help protect his nose from impact.
