Ferran Torres is only the second super sub in the history of the World Cup finals

The Spanish national team beat Argentina in the final of the 2026 World Cup (1:0). The victory for Luis de la Fuente's team was brought by striker Ferran Torres, who had previously appeared on the field as a substitute in regular time at the 62nd minute, with a goal in the 106th minute. Thus, the striker of "Furia Roja" in the status of a super sub joined the German attacking midfielder Mario Gotze, who brought victory to his national team in the final of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil precisely in a duel against Argentina. No other similar case of a successful substitution with a winning goal of one of the teams in the history of the World Cup finals has been recorded before.
