Episode Details

Spain clinched the 2026 FIFA World Cup in a nail-biting extra-time thriller, defeating Argentina 1-0 thanks to a 106th-minute goal from substitute Ferran Torres. Despite dominating possession and creating countless chances, Spain couldn’t break through until late — and Argentina’s fate was sealed when Enzo Fernández was sent off in stoppage time for a brutal challenge. This victory makes Spain the first nation to hold both men’s and women’s World Cup titles, and their second overall after 2010. Argentina, chasing back-to-back titles since Brazil’s historic run, fell short in a dramatic finale played in New Jersey — their first World Cup final against Spain since 1966, when Argentina triumphed. The tournament, the largest in FIFA history with 48 teams across three nations, ended with a global spectacle and a historic Spanish coronation.
