In a tightly contested match, Spain secures a narrow 1-0 victory over Portugal, with Mikel Merino's decisive goal in the 91st minute. Despite Portugal's efforts, Spain's superior accuracy, evidenced by their 6 shots on target compared to Portugal's 2, ultimately dictates the outcome, highlighting the competitive nature of the encounter.

Spain are world champions for the second time. Ferran Torres' 106th-minute strike — a precise left-footed finish — broke the deadlock in extra time after 90 minutes of Spanish dominance that Argentina survived through defensive resolve and goalkeeper Juan Musso. With Enzo Fernández sent off in the 90th minute for a second yellow card, Argentina's resistance finally cracked. Spain's 65% possession, 20 shots to Argentina's 2, and nine corners told the story of total control that needed extra time to convert into the ultimate prize.

Spain's 4-0 victory over Saudi Arabia is defined by their possession dominance, which allowed them to control the match's tempo and territory. The turning point comes early with Lamine Yamal's 10th-minute goal, setting the tone for Spain's control. Mikel Oyarzabal emerges as the hero, contributing significantly to Spain's 8-1 shots on target advantage.
