Finalists Spain and Argentina were scoreless through regulation in the 2026 FIFA World Cup final before the European champions secured a 1-0 victory in extra time.

Both fighters had low striking volume, remaining extremely cautious throughout the 25-minute bout, which Esparza ultimately won via split decision. The slow pace of the bout is what Paramount’s X post is seemingly comparing to Spain vs. Argentina.
