Porro Fulfills Grandfather's Wish As Spain Lifts World Cup
Substitute Ferran Torres: Spain defender Pedro Porro said he kept a promise to his grandfather by helping Spain beat Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup final, setting up the extra-time winner that brought a second star home.
Substitute Ferran Torres swept the ball into the roof of the net in the 106th minute after Nico Williams had headed Porro's cross back across goal, giving Spain its first world title since 2010. But the moment carried a deeper personal meaning for the Tottenham right-back.
"A few days ago my grandfather told me, 'Bring the cup home, son,'" Porro said in the mixed zone, reports Xinhua. "Today I fulfilled those words. I can't wait to get out of here and call him, because he will be very happy, very emotional and so am I."
