Spain and Argentina began the final duel of the World Cup in a lively manner, each trying to take control of the field. The first serious chance in the 5th minute fell to Spain. Lamine Yamal, the young star of Spain, who had made inroads into the penalty area, found a good opportunity, but his shot, taken from a tight angle, was saved.

In the first half of the 2026 World Cup final, Spain had the advantage over Argentina in terms of possession and number of attacks, and it also became dangerous several times, but it could not turn any of its chances into a goal. The first 45 minutes of the World Cup final ended in a goalless draw.

Moments later, it was Argentina that became dangerous. Lionel Messi tried to reach a ball that was heading toward Spain’s goal, but Spain’s goalkeeper had come out of his goal in time and thwarted the attack.
