The final in Spain and the Netherlands seemed to never end. Spain dominated the game runs better, and ball control. But he could not score a goal. 90 minutes of the regular game score ended 0-0. The end of the players of both sides grew more desperate.
Then in overtime, in 116 minutes, Cesc Fabregas of Spain has made a move for about 10 meters from the goal Dutch. He found a teammate Andres Iniesta, who then made a spectacular kick the leg almost horizontal. The ball glanced off to the right of the Dutch goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg and bounced on the net.
"It just had to go to" Iniesta said of his shot.
Spanish fans unleashed. Dutch fans raised their hands in despair. But it was still six minutes left in overtime. It seems clear that the goal of Spain would be the deciding factor. After the final whistle, the Spanish players and coaches met at midfield for a group photo. The players took a victory lap as the trophy of the World Cup was sent to each member of the squad.
"It's the most beautiful [trophy]," said Iniesta.
