English referee Howard Webb set a record with the number of yellow and red cards he gave during the 2010 World Cup final between the Netherlands and Spain.

Webb showed a total of 14 yellow cards, the highest number ever for a World Cup final.

Nine of these were for Dutch players, including two for Heitinga, who also received a red card in the 110th minute.
