NEW YORK — Ferran Torres scored the winning goal in the second half of extra time to give Spain a tense 1-0 World Cup final victory over Argentina on Sunday evening in New Jersey.
Torres, who roamed into the box unmarked, received a headed pass from Nico Williams and rocketed the ball with his left foot past Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez in the 106th minute.
