Spain wins the World Cup

It took 120 minutes of play, but the Span are finally staring down the Dutch 1-0 in the final of the World Cup on a goal from Andres Iniesta.

The Spaniards then won the coveted trophy at their first participation in the World Cup final.

At the 7th minute, the Dutch striker Dirk Kuyt intercepted a pass near the dubious Spanish defensive and tries a shot from 35 meters that Iker Casillas stopped easily.

The Spanish-cons attack in the 10th minute. Sergio Ramos managed to exceed the defender who covers the right, but its center is deflected behind the goal line by defender John Heitinga. Spain does not take advantage of the subsequent corner.

After the first fifteen minutes, both teams traded a yellow card. Robin Van Persie is punished on the side of the Netherlands, while Carlos Puyol has been punished for a tackle.

The kick after the carton Puyol is dangerous for the Spaniards. Wesley Sneijder, who could win today as the best scorer of the World, let fly a shot was that Castillas manages to catch.

New board in the 22nd minute. This time, the Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel who gets following a tackle from behind.
