The Spanish national football team won the 2026 World Cup for the second time in its history after defeating its Argentine counterpart 1-0, on Sunday evening, in the final of the 2026 edition hosted by the United States, Mexico, and Canada. For the sixth time since the tournament's inception in 1930, the title, the most important in the sport, was decided in extra time. After 90 minutes without goals, the Spanish and Argentine teams went to extra time at MetLife Stadium in New York City. In the 106th minute, the first of the fourth period, forward Ferran Torres scored the only goal of the match. The defending champion played extra time with 10 men after midfielder Enzo Fernandez was sent off with an indirect red card in the 90+3rd minute. The Spanish repeated the scenario of the 2010 World Cup when they won the title for the first time in their history after a 1-0 win with a goal in extra time against the Netherlands. Sixteen years later, Torres ended the goal drought of the final, finding the back of the Argentine net in the first minutes of the fourth period, giving his country the second title. The scorer came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute for striker Mikel Oyarzabal. His shot was left-footed and one-touch after following a header pass from substitute winger Nico Williams.
