Argentina put on a completely toothless display in the attack during the 2026 World Cup final against Spain, failing to register a single shot during regulation time—an unprecedented occurrence in the history of World Cup finals.
The reigning champions failed to record even a single shot through the first 105 minutes of the match, including the opening 15 minutes of extra time.
With this, Argentina carved out the unwanted record of becoming the first team in World Cup final history to go up to the 105th minute without attempting a shot.
Throughout the match, Lionel Scaloni's side struggled to mount any effective attacks against Spain's fierce high-pressing, dominance in possession, and well-organized defensive line.
Argentina remained shotless through the entire first half as well, marking the first time they failed to register a single shot in the opening 45 minutes of a World Cup match since 1966.
That bleak attacking picture ultimately never changed.
