In briefanswer capsule

The battle was fought on the plain before the Black Gate of Mordor, and there the host of the Last Alliance had the mastery: neither Gil-galad's spear Aiglos nor Elendil's sword Narsil could be withstood. Elrond rode in it as Gil-galad's herald. The victory did not end the war; the siege of Barad-dûr began after it, and Sauron himself was not overthrown until the last combat on the slopes of Orodruin.
