Spain defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time to become world football champions for the second time in the final of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The thrilling match was decided in the 106th minute when Ferran Torres scored a powerful shot from close range, giving Spain a historic victory.

Fans were hoping for a memorable match from the World Cup final, but the match could not maintain its flow due to heavy clashes on the field, constant fouls and repeated stoppages.

Despite this, Spain played better from the start and created several clear scoring opportunities, but Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez stood firm every time.

Argentina suffered a major blow when midfielder Enzo Fernandez was sent off after receiving a second yellow card for a dangerous tackle in the final moments of regulation time, forcing the defending champions to play with only ten men in extra time. T

Martinez kept Spain in check with several brilliant saves in extra time, until in the 106th minute, after Nico Williams' header, the ball reached Ferran Torres, who scored the decisive goal for Spain with a powerful shot.

During the match, Spain's Lamine Yamal, Mikel Oyarzabal and Nico Williams continued to threaten the Argentine defense, while at one point Williams' goal was also disallowed due to a foul.

The final was not limited to the field, but also saw extraordinary splendor around it. US President Donald Trump arrived at the stadium specifically to watch the match, while a half-time show was organized for the first time in World Cup history, in which performances by Shakira, Madonna and Justin Bieber entertained the fans.

With this victory, Spain not only won its second men's World Cup in history, but also earned a unique honor. Spain has now become the first country in football history to hold both men's and women's World Cup titles at the same time.

US President Donald Trump made a special appearance at the final match, presenting the winning team with the trophy and medals, while FIFA also gave each player on the Spanish team a special ring.

The World Cup ended with Spain's victory, disappointing Argentina and opening a new chapter in football history, with La Roja proving once again why they are considered one of the best teams in the world.

Spain reached the final for the second time after winning its first world trophy in 2010 and emerged victorious.

Argentina, on the other hand, reached the final of the World Cup for the seventh time. Previously, the team had become world champions in 1978, 1986 and 2022 and was now determined to win the title for the second time in a row.

The match is also being seen as a possible last World Cup match for Argentina captain Lionel Messi, which has further increased the interest of the fans. Fans were hoping that Messi would be able to bring his team another world title, but his magic could not work in the final match.
