How a young and cohesive Spain took down Lionel Messi’s Argentina

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.
