An extra-time strike by Ferran Torres earned a dominant Spain a 1-0 win against 10-man Argentina, in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2026 on Sunday.

The reigning European champions have now clinched their second World Cup title after landing their first in 2010.

Spain had dominated throughout, having 20 shots to an extraordinary two from Argentina – both as they chased an equaliser –and were finally rewarded when Torres broke the deadlock in the 106th minute, the Guardian reports.

Pedro Porro’s cross to the back post was kept in play brilliantly by Nico Williams, with Torres pouncing to fire beyond Emi Martínez and send the Spanish into raptures.

Argentina did not attempt a shot on goal until the 115th minute when Lionel Messi, making his final World Cup appearance, struck the ball at the head of Mikel Merino.

There were ugly scenes after the final whistle, with Argentina’s Nahuel Molina and Leandro Paredes in particular reacting aggressively and players briefly scrapped. Paredes shoved Gavi to the turf and was sent off.
