Spain Historic World Cup Moment (Photo Feature)

Spain set a new mark for an undefeated run in men’s international football after beating Argentina 1-0 in Sunday’s World Cup final.

The win extends Spain’s unbeaten run to 38 matches without losing, breaking a tie with Italy. The shutout win over Argentina was Spain’s seventh clean sheet of the 2026 World Cup, and they become the first team to win the tournament while only conceding one goal.

Spain pulled clear of the unbeaten run of Italy, who had previously gone on a 37-game unbeaten run between 2018 and 2021, a span which saw the Italians beat England in the final of Euro 2020.
