The goal by Spaniard Ferran Torres against Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final caused an earthquake in Spain, granting La Roja its second world title after the 2010 tournament.

As the final match, held at MetLife Stadium in the United States, was heading to a penalty shootout, Barcelona star Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the match in the 106th minute, after a flurry of Spanish chances on the Argentine goal.

The network 'Foot Mercato' published, according to a report by Spanish seismologist Jordi Díaz Cusí, that a seismic wave was recorded in several cities after the decisive goal in the final match, and again at the final whistle.

Seismometers spread across Spain detected the vibrations caused by fans' celebrations.

These devices recorded three peaks in activity: after Ferran Torres' goal (106th minute), a second goal disallowed by VAR (112th minute), and finally, at the final whistle.

This last moment generated the strongest tremor, and according to Spanish scientists, these movements are attributed to the phenomenon of 'induced earthquakes', caused by human activity when many fans jump, shout, and celebrate simultaneously.
