Ferran Torres became a Spanish legend on July 19, 2026, scoring the decisive goal in extra time to secure Spain’s second World Cup title. His 106th-minute strike against Argentina mirrored Andres Iniesta’s 2010 winner, cementing Torres’ place in football history.

How did Ferran Torres score the winning goal?

Torres entered the final as a substitute just after the hour mark. His sharpness paid off when Nico Williams headed back a cross, and Torres unleashed a left-footed blast into the roof of the net. The goal, his only one of the tournament, broke Argentina’s resistance after a goalless 90 minutes.

What makes this goal historic for Spain?

This victory marked Spain’s second World Cup triumph, repeating their 2010 feat. Both finals required extra-time winners against defensive opponents. Torres, like Iniesta before him, now symbolizes Spain’s winning spirit. He also joins Iniesta as a player who won the World Cup two years after a European Championship.

Torres has already tasted success at club level with Barcelona and Manchester City. After winning three La Liga titles with Barça, he now adds a World Cup to his trophy haul. His journey from Valencia to global stardom continues, with fans eager to see his next chapter.
