FIFA investigates the brawl after World Cup final

Spain clinched their second World Cup title after a high-drama match against Argentina, where a lone extra-time goal by Ferran Torres sealed the victory amid escalating on-field tensions

Spain secured their second World Cup championship following a highly contentious victory over Argentina. After Enzo Fernandez was dismissed for a second bookable offense in second-half stoppage time, Ferran Torres capitalised by scoring the decisive goal in extra time. The tournament concluded in chaotic scenes as Leandro Paredes confronted Spain’s Eric Garcia and Gabi, inciting a benches-clearing brawl that required intervention from coaching staff and tournament officials.

Leandro Paredes facing a possible suspension of 3+ international matches for alleged violent conduct. Other Argentina players and staff are also under review.
