Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time to win the FIFA World Cup. Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute, giving Spain their second world title after 2010.
Spain dominated possession and created most of the chances, while Argentina failed to register a shot on or off target throughout the match. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made several important saves to keep Argentina in the game.
Lionel Messi, likely playing his final World Cup match, struggled to influence the contest. Argentina’s frustration grew, with Enzo Fernandez sent off in stoppage time for a dangerous challenge.
Nico Williams had a goal ruled out before helping create Torres’ winner with a headed pass. Spain held firm in the closing minutes to secure a famous victory and lift the trophy.
