Spain crowns FIFA World Cup title, defeating Argentina 1-0: Spain won the FIFA World Cup 2026 title after 16 years. Spain won the FIFA World Cup trophy for the second time after beating defending champions Argentina 1-0 in a thrilling match. The final match was played at the New Jersey Stadium in New York on Sunday.
Spain previously won their first FIFA World Cup by defeating the Netherlands 1-0 in South Africa in 2010. Now, by winning the title for the second time in 2026, Spain has once again proved its dominance in world football. Spain’s defense played brilliantly throughout the tournament. Spain conceded just one goal in their 8 matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. This is the lowest number of goals conceded by any team that has won the World Cup.
The dominance of Spain was clearly seen in this entire title match. The team held the ball for 65 percent of the time and had a total of 20 shots on goal for Argentina. Compared to this, Argentina could make only two shots in the entire match. In front of Spain’s aggressive tactics and strong midfield, defending champions Argentina were seen to struggle continuously. Argentina suffered another setback when Enzo Fernandez was shown a red card following two yellow cards. The team finished in normal time and played most of the extra time with 10 players.
However, Argentina’s goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez put in a brilliant performance to keep Spain’s attacks at bay. He made 11 brilliant saves in the match, which is the record for most saves by any goalkeeper in the history of FIFA World Cup finals. However, in the second half of extra time (106th minute), Ferran Torres opened Spain’s account by scoring a goal. Messi was expected to once again excel in the big match, but the Spanish midfield and defense never gave him a chance to play freely.
France’s Kylian Mbappe scored the most goals in the Football World Cup 2026. He bagged the Golden Boot with 10 goals and 4 assists throughout the tournament. Argentina’s Lionel Messi finished second with 8 goals and 4 assists.
