July 20 (Reuters) - World ⁠soccer's governing body FIFA has appointed ⁠a disciplinary and ethics prosecutor to ‌investigate the post-match brawl that erupted after Spain's 1-0 extra-time victory over Argentina in a chaotic ​World Cup final.

Tensions boiled over ⁠after Spain secured ⁠their second World Cup title courtesy of ⁠an ‌extra-time winner from winger Ferran Torres. Argentina had already been reduced ⁠to 10 men in the 93rd ​minute of ‌normal time when Enzo Fernandez was ⁠sent off ​for a second yellow card.

At the final whistle, Argentinemidfielder Leandro Paredes clashed with several ⁠Spanish players, including defender Eric ​Garcia and midfielder Gavi, triggering a broader brawl between the two sets of players.

The ⁠teams exchanged shoves and had to be physically separated, with Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni trying to calm down the players ​at the end of ⁠the ill-tempered encounter.

No timeframe was given for ​the conclusion of the ‌investigation.
