7M - Spain 1-0 Argentina: Spain Win the 2026 World Cup - Ferran Torres Strike Sinks Argentina 1-0 in Final

Spain have been crowned world champions for the second time in their history after defeating defending champions Argentina 1-0 in a tense 2026 FIFA World Cup final at MetLife Stadium.

Substitute forward Ferran Torres proved to be the hero for La Roja, breaking the deadlock in the 78th minute. Torres latched onto a sharp low cross from 19-year-old starlet Lamine Yamal before slotting a calm finish past Emiliano Martínez.

Despite late pressure from Lionel Scaloni’s side, Spain held firm to secure the victory, earning their second World Cup trophy following their historic 2010 triumph in South Africa. The result marks a heartbreaking end to Lionel Messi's international World Cup career, as the 39-year-old icon falls just short of back-to-back titles.
