FIFA World Cup 2026 Final: Argentina and Spain Tied 0-0 at Halftime
Kathmandu. In the ongoing final battle for the FIFA World Cup 2026 title, defending champions Argentina and European champions Spain played to a goalless draw in the first half.
In the highly tense and competitive first 45 minutes of the game held at the New York New Jersey Stadium, both teams created some scoring opportunities but failed to change the scoreboard.
From the beginning of the game, Spain tried to control the ball and put pressure on Argentina. However, Argentina's physically aggressive play and strong defense did not allow Spain's forwards to play freely.
In the 41st minute, Argentine defender Lisandro Martinez received a yellow card for tripping Spain's Mikel Oyarzabal. Immediately after, in the 44th minute, Martinez was forced to leave the field in tears due to injury. Experienced Nicolas Otamendi entered the field in his place.
Although the first half of this game, attended by US President Donald Trump, appeared somewhat disorganized, both teams are expected to adopt aggressive strategies in the second half.
