Spain has won the FIFA World Cup, defeating Argentina 1-0 in a thrilling final match that went into extra time.
The match, played at the New York New Jersey Stadium, saw Spain create several scoring opportunities early on, but Argentina’s defense held strong. Despite a goalless first half, the intensity of the match was palpable, with both teams engaging in physical play.
Argentina’s goalkeeper, Dibu Martínez, made several crucial saves throughout the match, including a notable stop in the 38th minute. Spain’s Mikel Oyarzabal and Marc Cucurella also came close to scoring, but their efforts were thwarted by Martínez.
The second half saw the tension between the teams escalate, with a brief scuffle breaking out and resulting in a yellow card for Argentina’s Leandro Paredes. Despite the drama, neither team could find the back of the net, sending the match into extra time.
It was during the second extra period that Spain finally broke through, with Ferran Torres scoring the winning goal. Argentina was unable to respond, and Spain claimed the World Cup title with a 1-0 victory.
This marks Spain’s second World Cup win, with their first coming in 2010. Argentina, who won the tournament in 2022, was seeking to claim back-to-back titles but ultimately fell short.
The match was attended by several high-profile celebrities, including Timothée Chalamet, President Donald Trump, and Jay-Z, among others.
