The Spanish national team has once again ascended to the throne of world football, after being crowned the World Cup title for the second time in its history, following its well-deserved victory over its counterpart Argentina by 10 goals.
This historic crowning for the Spaniards came after a high-level tactical confrontation, during which the sons of coach De La Fuente were able to reduce the danger of the "tango", and impose their quick attacking style that paralyzed the movement of Lionel Messi's comrades, before Ferran Torres was able to find the Argentine net at the beginning of the second extra half, giving Spain the World Cup title deservedly and deservedly.
The match did not hide the enthusiasm and excitement in its first minutes, as the two teams entered with an open style of play through which the Spaniards almost snatched an early goal after a beautiful attacking sentence in the fifth minute, following short passes deep before Lamine Yamal penetrated and shot the first dangerous ball of the match, which was brilliantly kept away by goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez.
After this attack, the Spanish team began to control the course of the match, threatening the champion's net on more than one occasion, while the Argentine team was content to receive the game and try to withstand the Spanish rush.
Goalkeeper Martinez shines
As the minutes went on and the Argentine team held on, La Roja began to reduce the intensity of its threat to Martinez's net, while sticking to its usual style of calm and patience in building the game, while the Argentine team, which remained absent from the atmosphere of the match due to the inability of its star Lionel Messi to break free from the close control of Spain.
In the 39th minute, Oyarzabal almost broke the whites of the score with a surprise goal after taking advantage of a mistake in taking the ball out of the Argentine defence, to shoot a creeping rocket shot that was received by goalkeeper Martinez very calmly, but Cocuria came back to threaten the goal with a more dangerous creeping shot in the 43rd minute that went along the left post.
Amid the lack of solutions and the pressure of the match, defender Lisandro Martinez suffered an injury, leaving the field in the 44th minute, leaving his place for his teammate Nicolas Otamendi.
The last minutes of the first half, which ended in the shadow of the White House (0-0), were absent from the game with a remarkable Spanish advantage in the absence of the Argentine team, who did not direct any shot throughout the first 45 minutes.
In the 55th minute, the Spanish attack, which descended with all its weight on the Argentine defenses, exploded in front of the dangerous chances of the Spaniards, and Olmo almost created the surprise after sliding down from the right with great skill, to pass a wonderful cross to Cocuria, who was near the penalty spot, but the Argentine defense was able to quickly come back to keep the danger away.
Torres Event
In his first dangerous touches, Ferran Torres missed a goal in the 67th minute, after Lamine Yamal managed to manipulate the "Tango" defenses to raise a wonderful cross that Torres flew to convert with an elaborate header towards the goal, but the ball ended between the glove of the brilliant Emiliano Martinez, who returned in the 77th minute to stop a rocket shot from Kuparsi.
In the 90+3rd minute, the situation of the Argentine national team deteriorated after the player Enzo Fernandez received a second yellow card that turned red, following his violent intervention on Pedri, leaving his team to complete the match with only ten players.
Just before the final whistle, the Spanish team got a free kick directly near the box, which was executed by Lamine Yamal in a wonderful way, but Martinez continued to shine in the match after saving the ball and turning it into a corner, to end the match in a negative draw and head to two extra periods to decide the identity of the champion.
Emiliano Martinez refused to let his net go against the Spaniards, as he came back in the third minute of the second extra half to keep away a header from Williams, but the Spaniards put the ball in the net by the 96th minute to break the knot and score the first goal with the foot of Williams, who took advantage of a ball returned from the keeper to shoot it straight towards the goal, but the referee cancelled out the Spaniards' joy after rejecting the goal due to an earlier foul on Otamendi.
Total absence of the tango team
In the absence of Argentina, the Spaniards continued to squander chances to score, as Williams came back in the 103rd minute to pass a neat cross deep to substitute Mikel Merino, who followed it up with a header that passed a few centimetres just past the post, ending the first extra half without any updates.
At the start of the second extra period, the Spaniards broke the knot and shook the Argentine net with the foot of Ferran Torres, after Pedri lifted a cross that Williams saved from the exit to put it in front of Torres, who took advantage of the lack of control and fired a "historic" ball into the net.
Ferran Torres fired a mercy shot at Argentina in the 113th minute, after he escaped the defence to single out the keeper and shoot a creeping ball into the far corner, but the referee returned to cancel the goal due to offside.
The final minutes saw an offensive awakening from the Argentine team, which intensified its attempts to score the equalizer and stay in the competition, but the Spanish team managed to absorb the Argentine rush, maintaining its superiority until the final whistle, which gave the Spanish the title.
