Spain Claims 2026 World Cup with 1-0 Extra-Time Win Over Argentina

Spain Claims 2026 World Cup with 1-0 Extra-Time Win Over Argentina

Spain claimed its second FIFA World Cup title on Sunday, defeating Argentina 1-0 in extra time at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal after entering the match in the second half, beating goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez to secure the victory.

Spain controlled large stretches of the final and contained a 10-man Argentina side, limiting Lionel Messi's impact in what may be the Argentine captain's final World Cup appearance.

President Trump attended the match and personally presented the trophy to the Spanish team following the game.

Prior to kickoff, Trump flew over the stadium aboard Marine One and later joined more than 80,000 spectators for the national anthem, performed by Grammy-winning artist Jennifer Hudson.
