La Roja dominated the entire tournament, enjoying 68% of the shots while taking 20 shots, including 11 on target, compared to Argentina’s four attempts. Lionel Scaloni’s team struggled to create meaningful opportunities and did not register a shot on target until the end of extra time.Goalkeeper Emiliano MartÃnez kept Argentina in the tournament with 11 saves, the most ever recorded in a FIFA World Cup final, but even his heroics were not enough to deny Spain.
