Spain beat Netherlands to win historic World Cup

Spain won the FIFA World Cup 2010. They beat Netherlands by 1-0 at Soccer City in Johannesburg on Sunday.
The defeat was heartbreaking for the Dutch, who were down to 10 men after John Heitinga was sent off in extra time. It was their third World Cup final loss after 1974 and 1978.

Spain, appearing in their first final, become the second team after West Germany in 1974 to follow up winning the European championship by lifting the biggest prize of all.

The victory sees Spain join Brazil (five times winners), Italy (four), Germany (three), Uruguay (two), Argentina (two), England and France as world champions.
