Spain won the 2026 World Cup for the second time in its history after defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final match held on Sunday.

The Barcelona player capitalized on a rebound from Argentina's defense to shoot into the net, giving his country its second star in history after the first in 2010.

Spain dominated the match completely, but goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez thwarted all attempts by 'La Furia Roja'.

Argentina played the final minutes of the second half plus extra time with ten men after Enzo Fernández was sent off with a second yellow card in the 93rd minute.
