Spain are the new FIFA World Cup champions after edging Argentina 1-0 following extra time in a gripping final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, United States. The tightly contested encounter remained goalless after 90 minutes before substitute Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute.
Both sides created opportunities throughout the match, with Argentina pressing early and Spain responding with disciplined defending and tactical adjustments. Several players were cautioned as the intensity of the contest grew, but neither team managed to find a breakthrough during regulation time.
Spain’s persistence paid off in extra time when Nico Williams set up Torres, who finished calmly to hand La Roja the lead. Argentina pushed hard for an equaliser in the closing stages, but Spain’s defence held firm to secure a memorable victory.
The triumph gives Spain their second FIFA World Cup title and caps another remarkable chapter in the nation’s football history. The victory also means Spain now hold both the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship titles simultaneously.
