Spain outlasts Argentina 1-0 to win World Cup championship

It took extra time, but for Spain, it turns out the heart of a champion beats red. La Roja coming out on top in a thrilling match against defending champs Argentina. One nil on a goal from Ferran Torres. Claiming the country's second World Cup title and first since 2010. I'm actually delighted to see the Spanish win. We're all Espana! That's a really good match. It comes after Spain held Argentina to no official shots on goal and sensation Lamin Yamal had a chance to win in the waning moments of regular time on a free kick. Argentine goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez with one spectacular save after another. But in the end, Spain and their 19-year-old phenom Yamal prevailing. A teenage champion and just the fourth teenager ever to win a World Cup. The historic matchup pitting Spain, the best defense, against Argentina, the best offense. Their first World Cup clash in 60 years. Spain now becomes the first nation ever to hold both the men's and women's World Cup titles simultaneously. The remarkable championship included the finals first ever halftime show. Flush with stars from Shakira to Madonna to BTS. As well as the heads of state from Spain, Canada, Mexico and the United States. As fans celebrate the incredible run of football the world just witnessed. And what might be Lionel Messi's final appearance representing Argentina on the international stage. Ending one story chapter and perhaps seeing another one first written. Sam is joining us now from the stadium in New Jersey. And Sam we see some Argentina fans streaming out. I'm guessing Spain's are still celebrating? You guessed correctly Halle. It's a lot of white and blue out here right now. Spain's legion of fans still inside the stadium for the trophy presentation. Look Halle, Argentina was down a man for all of extra time after a late red card. Spain sealed the deal. They allowed one goal all tournament. Halle that is a record. Back to you. Sam Brock with the assignment of the night at the World Cup. Thanks.
