After 105 minutes of trying to destroy Argentina’s defense, Spain finally got the breakthrough through Barcelona’s Ferran Torres.

Pedro Porro whipped the ball into the box, finding Nico Williams behind. The Athletic Bilbao striker won a header to keep it from moving, flicking the ball back into the goal area.

Torres was unmarked and smashed the ball into the roof of the net to give Spain the lead.

Spain overwhelmed Argentina with endless movement and possession.

Final pressure was felt when Enzo Fernandez was sent off for a foul on Pau Cubarsi.

Fernandez, already on yellow, flew into the challenge and missed the ball completely, sending Cubarsi flying into the air.

Argentina were left to survive extra time with 10 men, but they couldn’t hold on as Torres stopped the challenge.
