Spain Claims Historic Second World Cup | Belfast News

Spain clinched their second men’s World Cup with a dramatic 1-0 extra-time win over a ten-man Argentina, thanks to substitute Ferran Torres’ late strike.

The match, delayed by festivities and punctuated by Argentina’s red card, was tense and tactical — but Spain’s composure and persistence secured history.
