Summary
Ferran Torres settled the final in the 106th minute, giving Spain a 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina and a second men's World Cup title.
Spain controlled the match but needed two substitutes to combine for the breakthrough, with Nico Williams heading the ball into the box for Torres to finish.
Emiliano Martínez kept Argentina alive with 11 saves—the most recorded in a World Cup final since 1966—but Argentina did not register its first shot until the 117th minute.
Spain, already the reigning European champion, ended the tournament having conceded just 1 goal, underlining the defense that also shut down France in the semifinal.
