Germany 0-1 Spain – Highlights Video

For all of Spain’s brilliant passing in their World Cup semi-final against Germany, it was a Carles Puyol header from a corner that put them into the final.

Puyol rose highest in the second-half to seal Spain’s first ever appearance in the final, against Netherlands.

Man of the Match: Pedro – The Barcelona forward was picked ahead of Fernando Torres and justified the decision with a lively start. His mazy runs and slick interplay caused the German defence multiple problems and he maintained that level throughout the match. When Spain eventually made a change in attack it was David Villa that went off, not the 22-year-old.
