Spain clinches World Cup title as extended halftime show dazzles at New Jersey

At MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the 2022 World Cup final featured a halftime spectacle starring Madonna, BTS, Justin Bieber and Shakira. The interval was stretched to a record 28 minutes and organizers said the show helped raise roughly $100 million for children’s education worldwide, a figure highlighted by former HRT journalist Mirna Zidarić.

In extra time, Spain broke the deadlock when Ferran Torres finished a rapid attacking move and scored in the 105:37 minute, securing a 1‑0 victory over Argentina and earning Spain its second World Cup crown.
