Argentina survived sustained pressure from Spain as the FIFA World Cup 2026 final remained goalless in the second half at New York New Jersey Stadium. Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez produced a series of crucial saves to deny Dani Olmo, Ferran Torres and other Spanish attackers, keeping Lionel Messi's side in the contest. Spain created several clear chances after the break, while a heated confrontation between players resulted in Argentina's Leandro Paredes receiving a yellow card. Argentina also suffered an injury setback after Lisandro Martinez was forced off in the first half, with the score still locked at 0-0. (PC: X)
