Spain Lift Second FIFA World Cup Title

Spain are world champions once again after beating defending champions Argentina 1-0 in the FIFA World Cup final, securing their second title thanks to an extra-time winner from Ferran Torres. Spain dominated possession and created the better chances throughout the match, but Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez produced a string of superb saves to keep his side in the contest.

Argentina's hopes of retaining the trophy suffered a major blow when Enzo Fernández was sent off early in extra time, leaving Lionel Scaloni's side to play the remainder of the match with 10 men. Spain finally made their pressure count when Torres found the back of the net, sealing a deserved victory and denying Lionel Messi what is widely expected to be his final chance to win another World Cup.

The triumph caps a remarkable tournament for Luis de la Fuente's side, who conceded just one goal across the entire competition and reinforced their status as one of world football's dominant teams. Rodri was named the tournament's Golden Ball winner, while goalkeeper Unai Simón claimed the Golden Glove as Spain celebrated a historic night in New Jersey.
