(Picture Credit: AP) Argentina vs Spain FIFA World Cup 2026 Final Highlights Spain are back on top of world football. Sixteen years after lifting their first World Cup, La Roja defeated Argentina 1-0 after extra time to claim a second FIFA World Cup crown and end Lionel Messi’s hopes of signing off with consecutive titles.
After a tense, goalless 90 minutes, Ferran Torres finally broke the deadlock in the 106th minute, finishing off a flowing move involving Pedro Porro and Nico Williams. Argentina, despite arriving as the tournament’s highest-scoring side, failed to register a goal in the final and were reduced to 10 men after Enzo Fernandez’s late red card.
Messi nearly forced a dramatic equaliser with the final kick of the match, threading a sublime pass to Marcos Senesi, whose close-range effort was heroically blocked.
Spain finished the tournament with just two goals conceded, proving once again that the best defence conquered the world’s most dangerous attack when it mattered most.
