FINAL: Spain 2, France 1

Spain is heading back to the Euros championship for the first time since 2012. La Roja defeated France, 2-1, in Tuesday's semifinal match.

France took an early lead in the ninth minute with a header from Randal Kolo Muani, marking their first open-play goal of the tournament and their last goal of Euro 2024.

Spain quickly responded. Lamine Yamal scored an impressive strike from outside the box in the 21st minute, making history as the youngest goal scorer in Euros history. Just four minutes later, Dani Olmo added a second goal, controlling a loose ball in the box and firing a shot that deflected off France's Jules Koundé and into the net. Initially ruled an own goal, it was later credited to Olmo, giving him four goals in the tournament and a strong position for the Golden Boot.

France struggled to create opportunities in the second half, managing only two shots on goal after their opening score.

Spain, aiming for their fourth Euro title, will play in their first major tournament final since their golden years. Their last appearance in a Euros final was in 2012, where they defeated Italy 4-0.

Spain will face the winner of Wednesday's Netherlands-England match in the final.
