Substitute Ferran Torres Garcia scored in the 106th minute during extra time.
The FC Barcelona player was well-positioned to finish expertly past the largely impressive goalkeeper Martinez.
After a goalless draw in 90 minutes, the game was pushed to extra time with Argentina enduring the last 30 minutes a man less after the sending off of Jeremias Enzo Fernandez in the 92nd minute by Slovenian referee Slavko Vincic.
This is Spain’s second title since 2010, when they won in South Africa.
The earlier bronze medal match witnessed England defeat France 6-4 during the 10-goal thriller.
Rodri, Spain’s captain, was named the tournament’s best player.

England takes home $27M whilst France earns $25M.
Each of the losing quarterfinalists will pocket $17M, with $13M for every country in positions 9 to 16.
The next World Cup will be played in 2030, hosted by the trio of Morocco, Spain and Portugal.
