Zinedine Zidane lost his temper in the last minutes of the finale's extra time and got a red card for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the chest.
After a lengthy delay and consultation with his linesman referee Horacio Elizondo sent off France captain and talisman Zinedine Zidane.
Earlier in the match Zinedine Zidane became one of four men on the planet to have scored three goals in World Cup final matches together with Geoff Hurst (England), Vava (Brazil) and Pele (Brazil).
That was the last match in Zizou's glittering career.
