2026 FIFA World Cup
Ferran Torres stabs 10-man Argentina deep in extra time
Spain continued their impressive streak to beat ten-man Argentina at the New York-New Jersey Stadium in the USA.
Barcelona winger Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to help the Spanish side to their second World Cup triumph after sixteen years.
Following wins over Austria, Portugal, and Belgium, the only hurdle left to complete an impressive winning streak was Argentina, and they made it worth their while as they took the La Albiceleste to the cleaners in front of a teeming Blue Army of fans at the stadium.
Spain’s approach was patient, careful, and tidy. They played 20 shots to two from Argentina.
Argentina’s goalkeeper, Emi Martínez, made a series of superb saves from shots from Lamine and Nico Williams to keep his team in the contest.
Nico and Ferrran combined to give Spain the much-needed win in the extra time to help the Spanish side to their second World Cup triumph after sixteen years.
