The Final of 14 yellow cards and 1 red.
Spain 1 - 0 Netherlands
IT lasted 120 minutes but Spanish quality eventually told as Andres Iniesta bashed the ball gleefully into the bottom-left corner.
Spain become the third side to hold both the World Cup and European Championships at the same time, the others being West Germany 1972 & 1974 and France 1998 & 2000.
Howard Webb became the second Englishman to referee the final, the other being Jack Taylor in 1974.
Iker Casillas became the third Goalkeeper to lift the World Cup as Captain, the others being Dina Zoff (Italy) 1982 and Gianpiero Combi (Italy) 1934.
Spain became the first European team to lift the trophy in a championship outside of Europe.
