No goals in regulation and it seems no one is giving in in the extra time. The game is heading on to a nerve wracking penalty shootout.

Then at the 117th minute, Fernando Torres feed a waiting Andres Iniesta on a deflection by the Dutch defense. Iniesta squared off just on the legal side and fired it to the Dutch goal. The defender touch the ball barely but it was all he can do as the ball swished through the net, setting a frenzy of Spanish fans in Soccer City, South Africa, in Madrid, Spain and to the whole world.

Spain won the Cup for the First time. It also achieved the feat for a team to have won both the Euro league and the World Cup at the same time.

The Spanish win is a win deserved for a team that is oozing with talent.

Finally, their time has come.
