The result was decided in the third recorded segment.

With the status marked AET, the one-goal margin is the defining score.

The match stats produce a clear summary: two goalless periods, followed by Spain's 1-0 winning period. Those are the central highlights of a contest decided by one score, with Argentina level through regulation and Spain ahead after extra time. The World Cup result therefore turns on timing as much as margin: no separation early, then a single decisive goal.

The report's wider interview voice returned to resilience. Heaton added: “He's very strong mentally and he'll be absolutely fine.” The message was directed at Lammens, while the official result keeps the conclusion clear: Spain 1-0 Argentina after extra time.
