India, July 21 -- Spain lifted the FIFA World Cup 2026 title after edging Argentina 1-0 in an extra-time thriller, but the final was overshadowed by ugly post-match scenes that reportedly prompted FIFA to open an investigation into Argentina's conduct.

After 106 goalless minutes, Ferran Torres broke the deadlock, calmly slotting home the winner to hand Spain their second World Cup title.

Reflecting on the decisive goal, Torres said it was scored by "47 million people"-a reference to Spain's population.
