The story
Not the matchup of the century, but the match Spain needed to complete the unique Euro-WC-Euro treble. Andrés Iniesta's extra-time goal in the 116th minute won La Roja their first World Cup. The Dutch finished the match with one of the highest yellow-card tallies in any final (9), de Jong's kung-fu kick on Xabi Alonso among them. Iker Casillas kept clean sheets in his last four matches; the era of tiki-taka peaked here.
