Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win 2026 World Cup
What's new: Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute as Spain finished the tournament having allowed just one goal in eight matches.
Spain won the 2026 World Cup on Sunday, beating Argentina 1-0 after extra time at New York/New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Ferran Torres, on as a substitute, struck in the 106th minute to decide the final and deny Lionel Messi a second straight title in what he has indicated will be his last World Cup match. Spain claimed its second men's World Cup after its 2010 title and became the first country to hold both the men's and women's World Cup crowns at the same time, after Spain's women won in 2023. Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez kept the score close with a World Cup final-record 12 saves.
