Spain defeats Argentina 1-0 in extra time to win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give Spain a 1-0 victory over defending champion Argentina in the World Cup final on July 19, 2026, in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Spain allowed only one goal throughout the tournament, setting a record, and became the first nation to hold both men's and women's World Cup titles simultaneously. Lionel Messi likely played his final World Cup match.

The split, in one line
Coverage splits between Spain's dominance and Torres' decisive goal, Trump's stadium reception (booed by some, escorted by Infantino), and ticket economics, with The Hill pivoting to political subplots beyond the match itself.
