FIFA Who Scored Goal For Spain: Spain won the FIFA World Cup 2026 title by defeating Argentina 1-0 in the final match. Ferran Torres, who scored the only goal for Spain in the title match, said that the team was destined to win the title.

Spain captured the World Cup title for the second time after 16 years. Ferran Torres, who came on the field in place of Mikel Oyarzabal in the 62nd minute of the match, scored a brilliant goal for Spain on a knockdown of Nico Williams in extra time. Torres said, “I think in the end this goal was on behalf of 47 million people, not just on behalf of us who are here.” Before Sunday, he had not scored any goal in the tournament.

“Finals are difficult,” said Ferran Torres. When Messi is in the opposition, there is always a worry, but we always believed in ourselves and tried to play our best football and I think we managed to do that once again.”

Torres had come under a lot of criticism during the tournament before scoring the winning goal in Sunday’s final. He said, ‘Scoring the goal was a big relief. I was criticized throughout the tournament, but as I said earlier, my fate was written.” Spain’s performance in the final match was excellent. The team’s strong defense did not give Argentina any chance to score a goal in the entire match. Spain conceded only one goal in the entire tournament.

Highlights of Spain and Argentina match

After a tense and hard-fought 90 minutes of the FIFA World Cup final at New York New Jersey Stadium ended without a goal, Torres finally broke the deadlock in the 106th minute. This forward player controlled the ball from Nico Williams’ header and then scored a powerful shot with his left foot, bypassing Argentinian goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez. With this, ‘La Roja’ (Spain’s team) won the title by defeating the current champion Argentina 1-0.

Spain maintained possession of the ball for longer periods and created the better chances throughout the final, but Argentina goalkeeper Martínez was in excellent form, repeatedly denying the Spanish team’s attacks. At the same time, Argentina struggled to create clean chances and captain Lionel Messi was largely restricted by Spain’s disciplined defence.

Scored a big goal in the 106th minute

Torres scored the first and only goal of the match in the 106th minute of the match. After this Spain continued to put pressure. Meanwhile, the team thought they had doubled their lead in extra time, but that attempt was declared invalid due to a foul before the goal. However, Luis de la Fuente’s team maintained their composure and easily eliminated Argentina’s reigning world champions in the final moments of the match.
