Spain claimed the 2026 World Cup title with a 1-0 victory over Argentina on Sunday, securing their second global championship after their maiden triumph in 2010. The triumph marks a dominant display by Luis de la Fuente's squad, who controlled proceedings throughout the contest.
Argentina, the defending champions, struggled to mount any meaningful challenge against Spain's relentless pressure. The Spanish side created numerous opportunities but couldn't find the breakthrough during the regular 90 minutes.
Extra time brought a crucial turning point when Enzo Fernandez received his marching orders after picking up a second yellow card. Spain capitalised on their numerical advantage in the second half of extra time.
Ferran Torres broke the deadlock in the opening stages of the second period, finishing a knockdown from Nico Williams to seal the trophy for La Roja. The goal proved decisive in a tightly contested final.
