Spain beat Argentina to win second World Cup title

 Spain edge Messi’s Argentina 1-0 in extra time to claim their second World Cup title. Spain have won their second World Cup, collecting the trophy from United States President Donald Trump after Ferran Torres’s extra-time strike finally broke the stubborn resistance of the Lionel Messi-led Argentina. More than 80,000 people witnessed a tense, tight final on Sunday at New York New Jersey Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that ended 1-0. The defending champions struggled to compete with dominant Spain and were left with a mountain to climb when Argentina’s Enzo Fernandez was sent off in the 93rd minute for a second yellow card after a reckless challenge on Spain defender Pau Cubarsi.Argentina barely had an attempt on goal in the entire match but held on grimly, with goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez making a series of saves.
