The Netherlands and Spain have never met in the World Cup or Europe Cup before. SPAIN HAVE REACHED THE WORLD CUP FINAL FOR THE FIRST TIME Spain were definitely the better side. Carles Puyol, who has just headed Spain into their first World Cup final, looks like he is in a state of shock. Two of the world's best players, Andres Iniesta and Bastian Schweinsteiger, exchange shirts, while Per Mertesacker looks heartbroken. Spain - 93 min SUBSTITUTION Spain send on Carlos Marchena for Xabi Alonso. He probably won't touch the ball, but he might be leaping around in a few seconds' time. "You wonder why Germany waited for a 1-0 down until they began to play ...." 81 mins SUBSTITUTION There's a change apiece, with Mario Gomez coming on for Sami Khedira for Germany and Fernando Torres replacing David Villa for Spain. Spain - 81 min SUBSTITUTION David Villa gets off (81 min) Germany - 81 min SUBSTITUTION Khedira gets off (81 min) 73 mins GOAL Germany 0-1 Spain (Puyol) Despite all Spain's dominance,more frustration for Spain, they just cannot get that final ball right on the edge of the Germany box. It is still 0-0 and that will play on their minds with them having never been in a World Cup final. Germany - 61 min SUBSTITUTION Trochowski gets off (61 min) Another change for the Germans - Joachim Loew doesn't mess about. Toni Kroos comes on for Piotr Trochowski with just under half an hour remaining in Durban. Spain nearly got the ball into Germany.. 2 times!!!!
