Spain win the 2026 FIFA World Cup by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final, with the match decided after extra time. Multiple reports describe a tightly contested game in which Spain create the decisive breakthrough late, and Ferran Torres scores the only goal. The South African notes the match is played in New Jersey, while other outlets frame it as a tense final that extends beyond regulation before Spain take the lead.
Vanguard and other summaries state that Argentina have 10 men during the match, though details of how the sending off occurs are not included in the provided articles. Several outlets agree Spain are crowned champions for the second time in their history, and they also reference Spain’s earlier World Cup title in 2010.
One source, Nigerian Eye, adds that Spain’s success is reflected in tournament awards, including Golden Ball (Rodri), Golden Glove (Unai Simón), Best Young Player (Pau Cubarsí), and the Fair Play Award (Spain), while France’s Kylian Mbappé is listed as Golden Boot winner.
