Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time to win World Cup title
Ferran Torres fired Spain to a 1-0 victory in the 106th minute, ending a tense World Cup final and securing La Roja's second World Cup title after their triumph in 2010.
Lionel Messi's bid for a second World Cup ended in heartbreak as Spain dominated possession and Argentina failed to register a single shot on target across 120 minutes.
Argentina's combative display ended with Enzo Fernandez sent off just before extra time, leaving the holders with 10 men for the closing stages.
Despite Spain's dominance, Argentina sat deep and looked set to force a penalty shoot-out.
Nico Williams thought he had broken the deadlock before his goal was ruled out, but moments later his header set up Torres, who crashed home the decisive goal.
