Spain secured its second World Cup title on Sunday with a dramatic extra-time victory over Argentina in New Jersey, a win punctuated by a viral moment from Telemundo's commentary.
Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute after a scoreless 90 minutes that saw Argentina's Enzo Fernandez sent off. Nico Williams provided the assist, setting up the Barcelona forward for the finish.
Telemundo's lead commentator, Andres Cantor, delivered an extended, passionate call of the goal, repeatedly shouting "Goooooooooool" for nearly a minute. The emotional broadcast resonated widely, quickly spreading across social media platforms. Fans praised Cantor's professional delivery, with many noting his Argentinian heritage made his enthusiastic call for Spain particularly remarkable.
"Ultimate professional. You could hear his heart wasn’t into it but he gave Spain their due," one user wrote on X. Another commented, "I ate an entire meal during that call."
Spain's victory came in a contentious final. Argentina, the defending champions, failed to register a single shot on target during the initial 90 minutes, a statistic underscoring Spain's tactical dominance.
Following the final whistle, unsportsmanlike conduct from Argentina players became apparent. Midfielder Leandro Paredes was sent off for striking Eric Garcia and pushing Gavi, while Nahuel Molina punched Rodri. Lionel Messi and Julian Alvarez were largely isolated upfront due to their team's struggle to retain possession and break Spain's press.
