Spain have beaten the Netherlands 1:0 in the 2010 World Cup final after 120 minutes on the Soccer City Stadium in Johannesburg.
After a scoreless draw in the regular time, the Spanish and the Dutch went into a 30-minute extra time.
The only goal was scored by Spain's Iniesta in the 116th minute after Netherlands' back Heitinga received a red card in the 110th minute.
Thus, Spain have become the eighth team to ever win a World Cup tournament, and the first European team to do so outside of Europe.
Spain are also the second team to win a World Cup after winning the European Cup before that (in 2008 in Austria and Switzerland). The only team to have done so until now was Germany.
The Spainish are the first ever team to win the World Cup after losing their opening game in the tournament. In South Africa, Spain lost its starting match against Switzerland 0:1.
