Spain are world champions once again, defeating defending champions Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final at New York New Jersey to lift the trophy for the second time in their history. Luis de la Fuente's side dominated possession and created the better chances throughout the contest, but Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez kept his team in the game with a string of outstanding saves.
The breakthrough finally came in the 106th minute when Nico Williams headed Pedro Porro's cross back across goal, allowing Ferran Torres to fire a first-time finish into the roof of the net. Argentina, reduced to 10 men after Enzo Fernandez was sent off at the end of normal time, fought until the final whistle but could not find an equaliser, as Spain emulated their 2010 triumph by sealing the World Cup title in extra time.
