Torres Scores in Extra Time, Spain Leads 10-Man Argentina in World Cup Final

Spain seized a crucial advantage in the World Cup final, with Ferran Torres finding the net in the 106th minute to put them ahead of a 10-man Argentina. The match remained deadlocked at 0-0 through regulation time, despite Spain's dominance in possession. Argentina defended resolutely, posing a counter-attacking threat in a tightly contested affair.

The complexion of the game shifted early in extra time when Argentina's Enzo Fernandez was sent off in the 93rd minute, leaving his team a player down. Spain thought they had scored earlier in extra time through Nico Williams, but the goal was disallowed due to a foul on Nicolás Otamendi.

Teenager Lamine Yamal had an early chance for Spain, and Mikel Oyarzabal's shot was saved by Argentina's Emiliano Martinez. Marc Cucurella also came close before halftime. Martinez made a crucial save from Yamal's late free-kick to force the game into extra time. Argentina is vying for its fourth World Cup title, while Spain seeks its second.
