Spain vs. Argentina Highlights: Spain Wins 2026 World Cup In Dramatic Fashion

Updated: Jul 19, 2026 - 6:36 PM ET

Take a breath because that was wild!

Spain outlasted Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final on Sunday afternoon, winning 1-0 in extra time. Spain's patient playstyle continued to payoff as it kept Argentina on the back foot throughout the first 90 minutes and into extra time. Spain finally struck in the 106th minute when Nico Williams found Ferran Torres for a first-time finish. Lionel Messi and Argentina pushed for an equalizer, and had chances on goal in the final minutes of extra time, but couldn't break through. 

Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez put forth a miraculous effort with a Men's FIFA World Cup final record of 10 saves. But Spain's defense one-upped him, with its seventh clean sheet of the tournament.

For Spain, it won its second Men's FIFA World Cup trophy, and did so in similar fashion to 2010 with a 1-0 victory in extra time. 

Here are the top plays from the World Cup final.
