Spain wins second World Cup title, defeating Argentina 1-0 in final

Spain clinched their second World Cup title by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the 2026 final. Ferrán Torres scored the decisive goal in the 105th minute of extra time, securing the championship for "La Furia Roja." This victory places Spain alongside England and Uruguay with two World Cup titles each.

The match saw Spain assert clear dominance over Argentina. Despite the narrow scoreline, Spanish statistics indicated a comprehensive performance, with Argentina failing to record a single shot on target throughout the 120 minutes. Spain's goalkeeper, Unai Simón, was not significantly tested, while Argentina's Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez was a standout performer despite the loss.

Brazil remains the most successful nation in World Cup history with five titles, followed by Germany and Italy with four each. Argentina, the 2026 runners-up, ranks third with three titles from 1978, 1986, and 2022. France, Uruguay, and now Spain each have two championships, with England holding one title from 1966.
