    Spain 0-0 Argentina

    The ball is dropping over Nico Gonzalez's head and it hits his shoulder. He didn't have much clue about that and Pedro Porro sweeps up.

    Spain try to get on their way but Argentina draw the foul from Lamine Yamal.

    Spain need to be careful not to end up involved in Argentina's game.

    How is that not a yellow card? Argentina yet again getting away with fouls.

  3. Spain fans unhappy with Infantinopublished at 20:23 BST

    When Alexis Mac Allister was not shown a yellow card for that foul on Dani Olmo, Spain fans started chanting: "Infantino".

    And it was not in praise. They felt Mac Allister should have been cautioned, and clearly believe Argentina are receiving favourable treatment.

    Spain 0-0 Argentina

    Argentina win a free-kick and Rodrigo de Paul sends in a decent ball in behind the Spanish defence but there's just a bit too much on it for Nico Gonzalez to get there at full stretch.

    Spain's bench erupted after that foul. Every member of the coaching staff and all the substitutes leapt from their seats to protest. Meanwhile, Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni was stood in his technical area waving his hand as if to say no foul.

    It's a late challenge. That has to be a yellow card, and guess what? The referee hasn't gone to his pocket.

    This is what Argentina do and what they are good at. They are a bunch of bar room brawlers. And if they get away with it they will.

    Get a grip referee.

    Alexis Mac Allister is very fortunate. If that's another 15 minutes into the game and that happened, then I think it's a yellow card.

    The first bit of something for referee Slavko Vincic to deal with.

    Spain are not happy as Alexis Mac Allister lunges on Dani Olmo. That's a hefty challenge but the referee doesn't reach for his pocket.

    Alex Baena's corner is deep and Dani Olmo is waiting for it but Cristian Romero deals with the threat.

    As expected, Spain have controlled the opening 10 minutes.

    Argentina need to have some variation in their play and have their forwards stretch the game. It can't always be to feet.

    Rodri is such an important player.

    We have seen him drive forward with the ball, and we have seen him ping it out to Lamine Yamal.

    Rodri is back to his very best.

    Fabian Ruiz sends the ball into the box and Lisandro Martinez flicks it behind. Spain have a corner.

    A looping ball out wide from Rodri finds Lamine Yamal but it's too close to the touchline for the teenager to keep it in play.

    That's an absolute shocker. The referee is saying he got that right, well you didn't referee.

    We're not going to have another display of weak officiating, are we?

    Spain are trying to make the pitch as big as possible.

    They're pushing so high and stretching Argentina as much as they can.

    Spain are passing it around with pace, and they have lots and lots of energy.

    They are working it around the Argentina players at this moment in time.

    Being English I’m staying neutral for the final and don’t really care who wins……as long as it’s Spain

    The opening minutes are being played out amid a fever pitch atmosphere in the stands. Shirtless fans are twirling their tops in the air as the mid-afternoon sun beats down. There is so much passion on display - both on and off the pitch.

    Pedro Porro plays it into Mikel Oyarzabal and the forward flicks it back towards the full-back but Porro is off balance and wants a foul.

    Referee Slavko Vincic having none of it.

    Unai Simon is 30 yards out of his box. He made his decision very early. He had to get it and he did.

    Paul Robinson
    Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live at New York New Jersey Stadium

    Unai Simon got so, so lucky because he started to back track and then he was already so far out of his goal that it allowed him to get to the through ball.

    The goalkeeper was lucky there.
