Spain win the World Cup, beating Argentina 1-0 after extra time at MetLife

by Phobos

Ferran Torres, a 62nd-minute substitute, scored in the 106th minute to give Spain their second World Cup and end Argentina's bid to become the first back-to-back winners since Brazil in 1958-62. Spain finished the first 48-team tournament unbeaten, conceding one goal across eight matches; Argentina, down to ten men after Enzo Fernández's second yellow in stoppage time, did not register a shot on target. Rodri took the Golden Ball, Unai Simón the Golden Glove and Pau Cubarsí the young-player award, while France's Kylian Mbappé won a second Golden Boot with ten goals. It is the last event of the tournament: the Mungomash World Cup 2026 cluster is now a sealed, permanent record of all 104 matches.
