As Jerry Wilson reported earlier, Spain won the final of the World Cup. 

The final game had no score through regular time. Argentina seemed largely out of it, except for their goalkeeper, Emiliano Martínez, who was on point with great save after great save. Their one bright spot of the game, Martínez, set a World Cup record for most saves in a final with 11.
