Spain secured their second men's World Cup title with a 2-1 extra-time victory over Argentina in New Jersey. Ferran Torres slammed home the 106th-minute winner before Rodri lifted the trophy, capping a tournament where Spain dominated every metric.

Spain controlled 65% possession, posted 1.94 expected goals and registered 20 shots (11 on target). Goalkeeper Unai Simon kept his seventh clean sheet in eight matches to claim the Golden Glove, while Spain conceded just one goal—the fewest by any winning side. Rodri (101) and Pau Cubarsi (121) became only the second and third players on record to complete 100+ passes in a World Cup final. The victory extended Spain's unbeaten run to 38 matches, the longest by a European team.

Argentina offered little resistance, attempting only 464 passes to Spain's 852 and failing to register a shot in 90 minutes—a World Cup final first. Emiliano Martinez made a record 11 saves. Enzo Fernandez was sent off in the 90th minute for a late challenge on Cubarsi, sparking post-match melees involving Leandro Paredes. BBC pundits Wayne Rooney and Joe Hart labeled Argentina's conduct "embarrassing" and "disgusting." Manager Lionel Scaloni conceded the better team won.
