FIFA World Cup 2026<\/strong> after defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final. Ferran Torres became La Furia Roja\u2019s hero by scoring the winning goal in extra time to deliver Spain\u2019s second World Cup title.<\/p>\nFerran Torres the Hero as Spain Beat Argentina<\/h2>\n
Chasing their second FIFA World Cup trophy, Luis de la Fuente\u2019s side immediately imposed their usual possession-based football from kick-off. Spain controlled the match for long spells and forced Argentina to spend most of the game in the back foot.<\/p>\n
However, La Furia Roja couldn\u2019t convert their dominance into goals during normal time. Poor finishing, combined with another outstanding performance from Emiliano Mart\u00ednez, kept Argentina level throughout the first 90 minutes.<\/p>\n
Just before the end of normal time, Argentina were reduced to 10 men. Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez received his second yellow card after committing another unnecessary foul, leaving Lionel Scaloni\u2019s side with a difficult task in extra time.<\/p>\n
Spain thought they had broken the deadlock early in extra time, but VAR ruled the goal out. Nevertheless, they kept pushing forward and finally found the breakthrough in the 106th minute. Ferran Torres fired a thunderous strike past Mart\u00ednez to send the Spanish fans into celebration.<\/p>\n
Argentina tried to respond during the closing stages, but Spain remained disciplined at the back and comfortably protected their advantage until the final whistle.<\/p>\n
As a result, La Furia Roja secured a historic 1-0 victory and lifted the FIFA World Cup trophy for the second time after their triumph in 2010.<\/p>\n

A day earlier, England wrapped up their FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign by defeating France 6-4 in a thrilling third-place play-off.<\/p>\n
The Three Lions looked unstoppable in the first half as Thomas Tuchel\u2019s side raced into a commanding 4-0 lead before the break. However, France responded brilliantly after half-time, reducing the deficit to 4-3. Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 scored twice and set a new FIFA World Cup goalscoring record in the process.<\/p>\n
Nevertheless, Les Bleus couldn\u2019t complete the comeback. Poor finishing once again proved costly, while Michael Olise endured another frustrating night in front of goal after missing several clear opportunities.<\/p>\n
England eventually sealed the victory through a swift counter-attack, with Jude Bellingham scoring the decisive goal late in the game to complete an entertaining 6-4 win.<\/p>\n
