How Argentina Reached a World Cup Final Without a Single Shot on Target
Argentina recorded zero shots on target during 90 minutes of the 2026 World Cup final against Spain—a remarkable and unwanted record for a finalist. Spain dictated every phase of the game. They dominated possession, midfield battles, passing rhythm and defensive shape. Whenever Lionel Messi received the ball, Spain’s high press and compact structure snuffed out any danger. Despite Argentina’s resilience, they failed to trouble the goalkeeper in regulation time. In extra time, Ferran Torres broke the deadlock to secure a 1–0 win and Spain’s second World Cup title. This final will be remembered for Spain’s defensive masterclass and for showing that reaching football’s biggest stage does not guarantee attacking success.
