Spain advanced to the European Championship final by defeating France 2-1 on Tuesday. Sixteen-year-old sensation Lamine Yamal made history as the youngest-ever scorer at a major tournament, beating the record previously held by Brazil legend Pele.

In the early minutes of the match, France took the lead when Randal Kolo Muani scored a fantastic goal off a cross from Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe played without a mask after recovering from a broken nose he had sustained earlier in the tournament.

However, Spain equalized with an excellent goal by Yamal, and their comeback was completed when Dani Olmo scored with a low shot past the defender Jules Kounde.

France attempted to launch a comeback in the second half but struggled to penetrate Luis de la Fuente's team. Mbappe missed their best chance by firing over the bar in the final minutes.

La Roja made history by becoming the first team to win six games in any Euro tournament, maintaining a 100% winning record from Group B through to the final. They are aiming to secure their fourth European Championship title but will face either England or the Netherlands in the final on Sunday in Berlin.
