Spain Edges Argentina 1-0 in Extra Time to Win 2026 World Cup

Spain claimed its second World Cup title on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Argentina 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 win.

Spain controlled large stretches of the final and overcame a 10-man Argentina side to deliver a commanding performance on football's biggest stage.

The result may mark Lionel Messi's final appearance in a World Cup match.

President Trump attended the championship game, arriving via Marine One helicopter with a flyover above the stadium before kickoff.

He later joined more than 80,000 spectators for the national anthem, performed by Grammy Award-winning artist Jennifer Hudson.
