Spain Wins 2024 World Cup 1-0 Over Argentina

Spain secured its first FIFA World Cup title with a 1‑0 victory over Argentina in a final that remained tied until extra‑time. The only goal came from Ferran Torres, who converted a decisive penalty in the 107th minute, giving Spain a narrow lead that held until the end of the match. The game was tightly contested, with both teams exchanging chances but failing to break the deadlock during regular time.

Argentina’s Lionel Messi, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, was unable to find the net in what is expected to be his final World Cup appearance. Despite his efforts, the Argentine side could not overcome Spain’s disciplined defense. The result also opened the door for France’s Kylian Mbappé to close the tournament’s top scorer race, as his goal tally rose to a level that places him in contention for the Golden Boot.

The match concluded with Spain celebrating a historic triumph, while Argentina reflected on a valiant but ultimately unsuccessful campaign. The victory adds a new chapter to Spain’s football legacy and marks a significant moment in the careers of both Messi and Mbappé.
