Goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro secured Spain's place in the final and took their tournament tally to 13 goals in six matches. The total marks Spain's highest-ever goal return at a single World Cup, surpassing the previous record of 11 goals set at the 1986 tournament.

Under coach Luis de la Fuente, Spain have combined a prolific attack with a rock-solid defence, conceding just one goal so far in the tournament—against Belgium in the quarter-finals.
