Ferran Torres scores the only goal of the game as Spain dominate Argentina 1-0, to win their second FIFA World Cup at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
Spain won their second World Cup title after Ferran Torres' 106th-minute smashed finish earned a 1-0 win against defending champions Argentina in the 2026 final.
Game’s greatest player will not see his legacy sullied by defeat to Spain but his team’s display destroyed the game Playing on the grandest stage in sport for the last time, Lionel Messi seemed almost certain to provide one last memorable moment in this World Cup final. Yet as the sun ducked behind the west stand of New York New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, it became clearer and clearer that Argentina had lost the magic they had carried through this tournament. And as Spain gradually wrested control, one was left to confront reality: Messi, and Argentina, had finally run out of time, having long
The European champions conceded just one goal in the tournament and their success is a victory for a system Release the pressure, let it out. All of it and all of them. Again and again they had come, again and again they had been halted. Many players had taken aim at Emi Martínez’s goal but somehow he was still standing and time was slipping away but Spain refused to do so, so they came some more. And then, suddenly, only this wasn’t really sudden, Pedro Porro’s deep cross found Nico Williams at the far post, he headed back, the ball dropped deep inside the Argentina penalty area, bounced on t
The top stories and transfer rumours from Monday's newspapers...
Argentina tried to kill the spectacle and make it a physical battle but Spain refused to take the bait and kept passing A worrying thought as a tepid first half drew to a close: was the half-time show going to be better than the football? This was a slog. Argentina could not match Spain’s possession approach but they had ways to level the playing field. There was physicality from Lionel Scaloni’s side, whose aim was to kill the spectacle before taking control in the second half, and they were allowed to take it to the limit by the Slovenian referee, Slavko Vincic. Alexis Mac Allister could hav
Rodri looks back to his imperious best in Spain’s midfield while Enzo Fernández has day to forget for Argentina Unai Simón Was alert to clear danger after Cubarsí’s early mistake. Otherwise could have brought his slippers. 7 Continue reading...
BBC scored a late goal in head-to-head with ITV over the World Cup by being in the stadium for the final “I thought it was crap,” Wayne Rooney surmised on BBC after enduring the half-time show. Amid tense final, the interval was always going to be prominent, theoretically bringing light to the shade. Why the two UK broadcasters felt the need to transmit the karaoke session in full we will never know but at least the pundits suffered through it, too. Ally McCoist said it had “mentally scarred” him as someone in attendance, unlike many of his ITV colleagues who were sat in Brooklyn. The studio h
US president watches Spain v Argentina match Match report: Spain beat Argentina in extra-time Donald Trump and Gianni Infantino were booed as they took to the field for the presentation ceremony of the World Cup final on Sunday. Trump arrived at the stadium on Marine One, with the president’s helicopter first flying over the stadium about 45 minutes before kick-off. There was little reaction from the crowd as the aircraft flew over the stadium, with Marine One landing nearby a few minutes later. The president was seated in a glassed-in section of luxury seats on the west side of the stadium sh
It was the triumph of an idea, an identity. Of an unshakable and patient faith. And when it was over, Spain’s new generation having emulated the one from the 2010 World Cup, all of those legendary names, there was simply delirium for them. Spain were the only team that turned up to play this World Cup final, from the first whistle to the last in extra time. Argentina were damned by their lack of ambition even before they had Enzo Fernández sent off towards the end of the regulation time. It was extraordinary to report that they did not have an attempt on goal until the 115th minute. Continue
It zipped along, cramming in Shakira, Madonna and Coldplay, but football fans may not be convinced of need for this mid-match spectacle Like hydration breaks and Donald Trump’s ability to get refereeing decisions overturned by simply phoning up the president of Fifa and complaining, the final half-time show is an innovation of the 2026 World Cup that comes with a degree of controversy attached. For one thing, its existence automatically means the World Cup final breaks the International Football Association’s 15-minute half-time mandate. For another, its obvious antecedent lies in the NFL’s Su
Ferran Torres breaks the deadlock, scoring in extra time for Spain in the World Cup final against Argentina at the New York New Jersey Stadium.
