Argentina's loss to Spain
The unstoppable Argentina winning streak in the World Cup ended in the most heartbreaking way in the finals at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The South American country was aiming to become the first-ever country to defend the World Cup title since Brazil in 1962.
Argentina failed to impress fans in the finals in front of Spain’s outclassing performance, which did not give the opponents a single chance to shoot the ball on goal. However, Argentina’s brilliant goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez rebuffed Spain’s 11 shots before Torres’ goal in the 106th minute.
