World Cup Score Shocker: Underdog Upsets Champions in Last-Minute Thriller

Spain 1–0 Argentina (after extra time) MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford — Sunday, 19 July 2026 The current World Cup score sees Spain leading Argentina 1–0 deep into extra time of a dramatic 2026 FIFA World Cup final. Ferran Torres broke the deadlock less than a minute into the second period of extra time, smashing Nico Williams’ cushioned header past Emiliano Martínez to give La Roja a precious advantage. Key match facts • Kick-off: 3 p.m. ET / 12 p.m. PT, MetLife Stadium, New Jersey. • Current World Cup score: Spain 1–0 Argentina (108’ Ferran Torres). • Shots: Spain 19 (11 on target); Argentina 0 — a staggering gulf that underlines Spain’s dominance. • Red card: Argentina’s Enzo Fernández was sent off late in regulation for a reckless challenge, leaving the Albiceleste with ten men for extra time. How the goal happened 111,000 fans were still settling back into their seats when Spain struck. Pedri’s inswinging cross from the right found Nico Williams at the near post; the winger smartly headed the ball back across goal, where Ferran Torres arrived unmarked to rifle home from close range. The strike rewarded relentless Spanish pressure, finally beating Martínez after the keeper’s string of nine saves had kept Argentina level through 90 minutes. Tactical snapshot • Spain’s pressing game has suffocated Argentina’s midfield, forcing Lionel Messi to drop deeper and limiting service to Julián Álvarez before his substitution. • With Fernández dismissed, Lionel Scaloni shifted to a compact 5-3-1, hoping to drag the contest to penalties. The strategy nearly held until Torres’ intervention. • La Roja boss Luis de la Fuente responded to mounting fatigue by rotating Rodri and Laporte for fresh legs, ensuring Spain kept the tempo high on a humid New Jersey afternoon. What’s at stake Should the World Cup score hold, Spain will lift their second men’s world title, adding 2026 to the star won in 2010. A Spanish victory would also make 19-year-old prodigy Lamine Yamal the youngest world champion in history. For Argentina, a comeback would seal back-to-back crowns and crown Lionel Messi’s legendary career with an unprecedented second straight World Cup.
