Spain Shuts Out Messi’s Argentina in World Cup Final and WNBA Weekend Excitement

Joy Taylor recaps Spain’s 1-0 extra-time win over Argentina in the World Cup final in New Jersey, with Ferran Torres scoring in the second period of extra time as Spain capped a dominant tournament, allowing only one goal and holding Argentina to two shots while Emi Martinez set a final record with 11 saves. She frames it as a passing-of-the-torch moment with 39-year-old Lionel Messi likely in his last World Cup and 19-year-old Lamine Yamal winning a title, notes post-match altercations and Enzo Fernandez’s second-yellow red that left Argentina down to 10, and mentions Spain’s chance to defend in 2030 as co-host. Taylor also runs through a busy WNBA Sunday, including Dallas over LA, Atlanta’s buzzer-beater win with Angel Reese’s knee injury, Phoenix snapping a skid, upcoming games, and viewership for Fever-Aces on NBC/Peacock. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
