SOUTH AFRICA 2010 NEWSIniesta fires Spain to extra time glory: The name of Andrés INIESTA will be remembered forever in red and yellow hearts, as his 116th minute goal secured Spain’s first world title as they defeated the Netherlands 1-0 in the final of the 2010 Men’s World Cup in extra time at Soccer City in Johannesburg. The match was hotly contested throughout; the old record of six yellow cards in the 1986 final was shattered as referee Howard WEBB issued fourteen bookings, including a second to the Netherlands’ Johnny HEITINGA in the 109th minute. With the resulting man advantage, substitute Cesc FÀBREGAS found Iniesta in the middle of the area, who powered his famous shot past goalkeeper Maarten STEKELENBURG. Spain are now the eighth nation to have won the Men’s World Cup, and the Netherlands have now lost all three of their appearances in the final match. |
