The Spanish national team won the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup on Sunday, July 19, defeating the Argentine national team 1-0 in extra time, and became world champions for the second time in its history. Spain previously won the World Cup in 2010.
The final match took place at MetLife Stadium in New York/New Jersey, USA. The regular time ended with a score of 0-0. In extra time, recently substituted forward Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute.
Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez made several saves during the match, keeping his team in the fight. Despite this, Spain’s advantage paid off, and Luis de la Fuente’s team was able to secure a historic victory.
According to official data, Spain made twenty shots on goal during the match, while Argentina had no shots before extra time and only made its first shot during extra time. This is considered one of the most lopsided finals in World Cup history.
In the final minutes of extra time, Argentine player Enzo Fernandez received a second yellow card and was sent off. The team had to continue playing with ten players, which further complicated the task for Lionel Scaloni’s side.
For 39-year-old Lionel Messi, this match may be his last at FIFA World Cups. Although Argentina was unable to defend its title, Messi retained his reputation as one of the greatest footballers in history.
Spain, having won the match and previously winning the 2024 European Championship, currently holds both of football’s most prestigious trophies — the World Cup and the European Championship.
