How a young and cohesive Spain took down Lionel Messi’s Argentina
La Roja nullified and frustrated Argentina as they secured victory in New Jersey to win their second World Cup.
Truth Score
85/100
Likely True
Why this score
While multiple trusted sources confirm the World Cup final match between Spain and Argentina took place and resulted in a Spanish victory, the claim that this is Spain's 'second' World Cup title contradicts historical records, as Spain has only won one previous title (2010). The event itself is corroborated, but the specific detail regarding the number of titles is factually inaccurate.
