Germany defeated Spain 1-0 in the final of the FIH Men's World Cup. The win is Germany's fourth title at the tournament. The score is a single goal. Spain is the losing finalist.

The men's final did not require a report of extra time or penalties. The published score is 1-0. No scorer is named. No venue is named in the short result. The title count is four for Germany.

In the women's tournament, Argentina beat the Netherlands in the final after a 1-1 draw and a penalty shoot-out. The win is Argentina's third Women's World Cup title. The Netherlands is the team beaten. The match was level after open play and was decided by penalties.

The two finals are separate championships, one for men and one for women. Germany's result is a 1-0 win. Argentina's result is a shoot-out after 1-1. They should not be combined into a single score. Each federation final stands on its own report.

A penalty shoot-out is used when teams are still tied after the time allotted. The report says that is how Argentina won. It does not give the shoot-out tally, such as how many penalties each side scored. It states that the shoot-out produced the title.

The confirmed hockey facts are Germany's 1-0 win over Spain for a fourth men's world title, and Argentina's third women's world title after a 1-1 draw with the Netherlands and a penalty shoot-out. Goal scorers are not named. No venues are given for either final.
