Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time to win the FIFA World Cup Final at New York-New Jersey Stadium on Sunday, in front of 80,000 spectators, celebrities and US President Donald Trump. The Hollywood Reporter attended the match and highlighted several moments that were not widely shown on broadcast coverage, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the occasion beyond the football itself.

Among the details: a brief physical confrontation broke out between Argentinian and Spanish players immediately after the final whistle, before being broken up as Spain's team continued celebrating. The build-up also saw rival fans clash vocally rather than physically, with Argentinian supporters dominating the singing on trains into the stadium and Spanish fans taking over the concourse before kick-off. The event also featured FIFA's first-ever final halftime show, headlined by Madonna, Justin Bieber, Shakira and BTS, while Trump's arrival was marked by a helicopter overhead, heavy Secret Service presence for media, and a chorus of boos from the crowd as he presented the trophy.
