Spain won the 2026 men's World Cup on Sunday with a 1-0 extra-time victory over defending champion Argentina at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford.\n\nFerran Torres, introduced as a second-half substitute, scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute. Argentina played the closing stages with 10 men after Enzo Fernandez received a second yellow card late in regulation. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez kept Argentina within reach with a World Cup final-record 12 saves, but Spain's defense protected the lead.\n\nThe title is Spain's second after its 2010 victory. FIFA named midfielder Rodri the tournament's Golden Ball winner. Spain also became the first country to hold the men's and women's World Cup titles at the same time, following the women's team's 2023 championship.\n\nThe match completed the first 48-team men's World Cup and the 104th fixture of a tournament hosted across the United States, Canada and Mexico. FIFA's official match report and award list provide the final result and tournament honors.\n\nSource: FIFA match report — https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/articles/spain-argentina-final-report-highlights\n\nSource: FIFA tournament awards — https://www.fifa.com/en/tournaments/mens/worldcup/canadamexicousa2026/articles/award-winners\n\nSource: Associated Press — https://apnews.com/article/argentina-spain-world-cup-final-score-messi-fccc26aa12d9226e63d06b601b770617
