Spain's Disallowed Goal and Key Moments in FIFA World Cup Final Against ArgentinaPreviousNext

In the FIFA World Cup final, Spain's Nico Williams scored a goal during extra time that was disallowed due to a foul by teammate Mikel Merino on Argentina's Nicolas Otamendi. Referee Slavko Vincic upheld the call without a video review, despite replays showing the foul as harsh. Earlier, Argentina played with ten men after Enzo Fernandez's second yellow card. Spain's only valid goal, by Ferran Torres in the 106th minute, secured their 1-0 victory over Argentina.
