Spain has won the World Cup for the second time. Spain defeated defending champions Argentina 1-0 in the match played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Monday morning with a goal in extra time.
Spain was in complete control of the game. But no goals were scored in the scheduled 90 minutes. There were no goals in the first half of the match, which was pushed to extra time. But Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give Spain the title.
He entered the field as a substitute on a pass from Nico Williams. Spain previously won the World Cup for the first time in South Africa in 2010.
Argentina was reduced to 10 men after Enzo Fernandez received a red card in injury time in the second half. Argentina captain Lionel Messi set a record of playing in 3 World Cups after Brazil's Cafu. But he could not show any magic in the final. He remained within the Spanish midfield for most of the time.
This is the fourth defeat in the final for Argentina, which previously won the World Cup in 1978, 1986 and the last edition in 2022. In the last edition in Qatar in 2022, Argentina defeated France in a penalty shootout to win the title.
