<\/span><\/h2>\nSpain came out in the second half with greater urgency and more direct intent. In the 67th minute, Yamal drove at the Argentine backline from the right flank and whipped a cross towards the back post. Ferran Torres, arriving with precision timing, met it with a header directed powerfully at goal. Emiliano Mart\u00ednez was in the right position. Torres denied. Spain continued to build momentum throughout the second half, but Mart\u00ednez was there to deny Spain every time.<\/p>\n
Argentina remained dangerous on the counter in theory but offered almost nothing in practice. Two attempts across 120 minutes, zero shots on target.<\/p>\n
