Spain Crowned 2026 FIFA World Cup Champions After Extra-Time Victory Over Argentina

Spain claimed the 2026 FIFA World Cup title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Argentina after extra time in the final at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The highly anticipated showdown remained goalless through regulation before Spain finally found the breakthrough in extra time.

Spain controlled possession and created the majority of the scoring opportunities throughout the match but struggled to beat Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez during the opening 90 minutes. Argentina, meanwhile, relied on disciplined defending and key saves to force the contest beyond regulation.

The defending champions suffered a major setback when Enzo Fernández was sent off after receiving a second yellow card in stoppage time. Taking advantage of the numerical superiority, Spain finally broke the deadlock in the 106th minute when substitute Ferran Torres fired home the winning goal.

Spain successfully held on to its lead through the remainder of extra time, securing a historic second FIFA World Cup trophy after first lifting the title in 2010. Argentina, who entered the tournament as reigning world champions, fell just short of retaining the crown.
