Ferrano Torreso’s goal in the 106th minute of extra time meant that Spain defeated Argentina 1:0 and reclaimed the World Cup trophy after 16 years.
The Argentinians played aggressively during the match, receiving seven yellow cards, and Enzo Fernandez, who received two, had to leave the field at the end of the second half.
Finally, after the match ended, several Argentinians crossed all boundaries. Leandro Paredes struck opponent Eric Garcia and knocked Gavi to the ground, Nahuel Molina hit E. Garcia and Rodri, and Argentina’s assistant coach Roberto Ayala struck Dani Olmo in the face.
Fortunately, the conflict was quelled, with significant help from Argentina’s head coach Lionel Scaloni, who separated the players.
The match referee Slavko Vinčić showed a red card to L. Paredes after the game, but these are not all the sanctions that may await the world vice-champions.

FIFA confirmed that it has launched an investigation and will assess the events after the final according to the FIFA disciplinary code.
“More details will be announced by the FIFA disciplinary committee once the investigator’s report is completed,” the statement said.
It is stated that the Argentinians who behaved aggressively may be suspended, and the Argentine Football Association may face a financial penalty.
Interestingly, until this year’s final, there had been no red cards in a World Cup final for 16 years – the last time was when Dutchman John Heitinga was sent off in the 2010 final against Spain.
