Spain Crowned 2026 FIFA World Cup Champions: Ferran Torres Strikes Late Victory


Spain defeated Argentina 1–0 in extra time at New York/New Jersey Stadium to capture their second FIFA World Cup title in a thrilling final. After a intense, goalless 90 minutes of regulation time, the high-stakes match moved into extra time.

The decisive turning point occurred deep in stoppage time (90+3') when Argentina midfielder Enzo Fernández received a red card following a second yellow, reducing La Albiceleste to 10 men.

Capitalizing on the numerical advantage, substitute Ferran Torres struck a brilliant volley in the 106th minute to break the deadlock and secure the win for Spain.

This victory marks Spain's first World Cup trophy since 2010. Demonstrating dominant form throughout the tournament, Spain set a World Cup defensive record by conceding just one goal across all seven matches.
