When, where, and how Spain won the World Cup final against Argentina

What the report says

Al Jazeera reports that Spain won the World Cup for the second time by beating defending champion Argentina 1-0 in the final at New York New Jersey Stadium. The match was played Sunday in front of a reported crowd of 80,000, with Spain securing the title after a dominant but scoreless regulation period.

The decisive moment came in extra time, after 105 minutes, when Ferran Torres finished a Spanish attack to break Argentina’s resistance. According to the report, Pedro Porro delivered the ball into the area, Nico Williams kept it in play with a header at the back post, and Torres, left free in the box, struck the winner high into the net.

Al Jazeera described Spain as controlling much of the contest through sustained possession and passing, while Argentina defended stubbornly for long stretches. A key turning point came when Enzo Fernandez was dismissed after receiving a second yellow card for a foul on Pau Cubarsi, leaving Argentina to play the rest of extra time with 10 players.

The result dethroned Argentina and capped what the report called a strong run for Spain in international football. For Spain, the victory adds a second World Cup title to the national team’s history; for Argentina, it ended their reign as champions after they were unable to hold out in extra time despite keeping the final level for more than 100 minutes.
