Spain Crowned World Champions After Extra-Time Victory Over Argentina

Spain has been crowned the 2026 men's World Cup champions, defeating Argentina 1-0 in a final that required extra time. Substitute Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal, securing Spain's second World Cup title.

The Spanish side controlled much of the match, enjoying significant possession and creating numerous opportunities. In contrast, Argentina, playing with ten men for a portion of the game, struggled to generate any shots on goal during the 90 minutes of regulation time, with their attacking efforts largely stifled by the Spanish defense.

The final, described as scrappy by some reports, ultimately saw Spain's dominance pay off in the additional period. The victory marks a significant achievement for Luis de la Fuente's squad, bringing the prestigious trophy home for the second time in their history.
