Published Jul 19, 09:49 PM UTC

Spain won the 2026 FIFA World Cup final against Argentina with a 1-0 victory, secured by a goal from substitute Ferran Torres in the second half of extra time. The decisive moment came from a well-worked collective move: Pedro Porro crossed from the right wing to the far post, where Nico Williams headed the ball back across goal for Torres to smash an unstoppable instep drive under the crossbar. Spain dominated the match, particularly in the latter stages, while Argentina offered little attacking threat, registering zero shots on goal and playing with ten men after Enzo Fernandez was sent off. The victory brings Spain closer to their second World Cup star, and Torres is hailed as a historic figure for Spanish football.
