France qualified for their nation's third Men's World Championship Final of 2015 with a decisive win against Spain. 

France vs Spain 34:27 (18:13)

In contrast with the first Semi-Final, the game between France and Spain was level from the first whistle. France were the leaders of the one-for-one race through the opening 20 minutes, with left back Romain Lagarde first on the board with a spectacular breakthrough shot. Spain followed in the second minute thanks to David Fernandez Alonso, who came on as a specialist attacker. 

After 15 minutes the score was level at 7:7. France held an edge, always the first to score with Spain equalising. Just after the 20-minute mark Spain’s Asier Nieto Marcos scored a Kempa goal to level at 9:9. France inched ahead to a two-goal lead with an outside shot from centre back Melvyn Richardson in the 23rd, before he struck again in the next attack to put them in front by three (12:9).

Spain coach Alberto Suarez Menendez called a time-out and his team were the next to score with a breakthrough from Ander Torrico Egana, but France restarted quickly and Aymeric Minne put a perfectly-placed outside shot in the top right corner as the clock showed 25 minutes (13:11). 

Jose Maria Marquez Coloma received a two-minute suspension as the half neared its end and Minne scored the resulting penalty (15:12, 28th minute). With the clock ticking toward 30 minutes Minne struck again, adding his sixth goal on the buzzer to give his team a five-goal lead at the break. 

It was a slow start to the second period – Spain lost their first two attacks and France left wing Etienne Mocquais had the chance to score, but his fast break shot was saved by Xoan Ledo Menendez. Spain scored the first two goals (Torrico and Fernandez), though France retained the lead at 18:15 in the 33rd minute. 

Antonio Bazan Legasa received a red card in the 42nd minute after three two-minute suspensions and France were well in control. With the penalty France moved ahead to a five-goal advantage (22:17). 

Smart, fast positional play earned Spain an outside goal from Francisco Castro Pena in the 47th minute (24:21), but Dika Mem scored two for France to push them ahead to five goals once more (26:21). 

With three consecutive fast breaks France pulled ahead to a seven goal lead just inside the last five minutes of the game (32:25). When the score line stood the same as the 60-second countdown began, it was clear who the second finalist would be.
