Spain lifted the World Cup trophy on Sunday, edging Argentina 1-0 after extra-time in the final at New York/New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford. Ferran Torres struck the decisive blow early in the second period of extra-time, finishing a precise pass from Nico Williams.
The match swung decisively in Spain's favour during the closing stages of normal play. Enzo Fernandez saw red for a second yellow card following a reckless challenge on Pau Cuba, leaving Argentina to battle with ten men.
Spain's dominance throughout the contest bore fruit through Torres's clinical finish. The victory marked Spain's second World Cup triumph in their history.
