It was yet another marathon World Cup finale with yet another 1-0 outcome as Spain won its first World Cup title by defeating Netherlands in South Africa today. Watch the gorgeous goal by Spain’s 26-year-old mid-fielder Andrés Iniesta!
Iniesta scored the winning goal in the 116th minute with only 4 minutes of extra time remaining, kicking the ball past Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg after a pass from substitute Cesc Fabregas.
These videos keep getting deleted so I will try to be diligent and keep searching for working replacements!
Here are some more photos of Spain and Iniesta celebrating the goal and their World Cup victory:
