Spain have defeated 10-man Argentina in extra time to win the FIFA World Cup for the second time.
Tripod Times reports that Barcelona winger, Ferran Torres, scored the only goal of the pulsating encounter in the 106th minute when Nico Williams brilliantly knocked the ball into his path.
Argentina, led by captain Lionel Messi, fought valiantly throughout the tournament, overcoming Egypt in the knockout stages and coming from behind to defeat England in the semi-finals.
However, the holders were unable to find a way past Spain, who claimed the biggest prize in world football for the first time since 2010.
Argentina’s cynical approach summed up by a mass confrontation sparked by Leandro Paredes pushing Gavi and Eric García to the ground after the final whistle, which led to the Boca Juniors midfielder following Enzo Fernández in being shown a red card.
