The Spanish national team has become the new world football champion, after defeating Argentina, the title holder, with a score of 1-0, after extra time, in the final of the FIFA World Cup 2026, reports IPN.<\/p>\n\n
The only goal of the match was scored by Ferran Torres in the 106th minute, a few minutes after Argentina was left numerically inferior, following the dismissal of Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez for accumulation of yellow cards. Spain dominated the final, having 20 shots on goal, compared to just two from the opponent. Moreover, the Iberians had two more goals disallowed following the intervention of VAR: one scored by Nico Williams in the 97th minute and cancelled for foul, and another scored by Ferran Torres in the 114th minute, who was in an offside position.<\/p>\n\n
In the first 90 minutes, the reigning champion, Argentina, did not send a single shot towards the goal, a first in the history of the World Cup finals. Captain Lionel Messi most likely ended his last World Cup final without adding a new trophy to his record.<\/p>\n\n
For the selected Iberian team, this is the second world title in history, following the one won in 2010. The team, coached by Luis de la Fuente, has extended its streak of international matches without defeat to 38, a record for a European team.<\/p>\n\n
At the end of the tournament, Rodri was named the best player of the competition, Pau Cubars\u00ed received the award for the best young player, Unai Sim\u00f3n was chosen as the best goalkeeper, and the Frenchman Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 finished the competition as the top scorer, with ten successful goals. Michael Olise, also from the French national team, was named the best passer of the tournament, with 7 goal assists.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
