The Argentine national team failed to pose any threat to Spain's goal throughout the 90 minutes in the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday evening at MetLife Stadium in New York, USA.

The goalless draw decided the regulation time, forcing the two teams to go into extra time to determine the World Cup champion.

Spain is seeking to win the World Cup title for the second time in its history after 2010.

On the other hand, Argentina aims to win the title for the second consecutive time and the fourth in its history.

Throughout the 90 minutes, Argentina showed no attacking presence at all, amid significant control by Spanish players and constant threats on goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez's goal, who saved many dangerous balls.

Statistics network Opta stated that Argentina is the first team in history to fail to make a single shot throughout 90 minutes in a World Cup final.

This statistic reflects the extent of Spain's control over the match, with a complete disappearance of the Argentine players in attack.

0 - Argentina are the first ever team to fail to have a single shot in 90 minutes in a FIFA World Cup final.
