Spain defeated reigning champions Argentina with a goal from substitute Ferran Torres, taking them to a 1-0 win in extra time. The dramatic victory for Spain came on what could have been Lionel Messi’s final appearance on football’s biggest stage

Violent scenes also unfolded in Buenos Aires, with more than a dozen people detained by police after rioting broke out following Argentina's loss

Thousands gathered in the streets of the capital to watch the final, and it had largely been a peaceful affair until riots broke out between police and fans at around 11:45 pm, reports Argentine newspaper Infobae

Clashes were seen around the Obelisk, a national monument, when a group of supporters attempted to breach fencing designed to protect it. Chaos then reigned for 20 minutes as a ‘large group’ of fans started hurling glass bottles and other projectiles at the police

Cops responded with tear gas and a water cannon to disperse irate crowds nearby, the outlet added. ‘At least’ 15 people have been detained by police, Infobae said, with several hurt in the riot. The condition of the injured remains unknown.
