The Spanish national team booked its ticket to the World Cup final after defeating France 2-0 on Tuesday evening.

Mikel Oyarzabal and Pedro Porro scored the two goals for La Roja in the 22nd and 58th minutes.

Salvadoran referee Iván Barton awarded a foul in favor of Les Bleus on the edge of Spain's penalty area in the 43rd minute after a challenge between Ousmane Dembélé and Fabián Ruiz, but he later reversed his decision.

The account 'Archivo VAR' on platform X, specializing in refereeing situations, said that Barton signaled an incorrect foul before his assistant corrected his decision, pointing to him during communication.

He added: 'In fact, the Spanish players applauded the assistant referee's decision after he corrected the incident.'

It is worth noting that the Spanish team will face in the World Cup final the winner of the match between England and Argentina.
