The line up of the 2010 World Cup final has been decided, with the second semi final going ahead last night in Durban, and saw Spain grab the last spot.
The 2008 European Championships final, overcame Germany by a single goal to get one step closer.
The tournament will be won by a nation never to have lifted the trophy before as Spain and the Netherlands battle it out on Sunday evening at the Soccer City Stadium.
The current European Champions are looking to add the ultimate piece of international silverware to their collection, and in a repeat of the 2008 European Championships final, overcame Germany by a single goal to get one step closer.
It was a stalemate until the 74th minute, when Carles Puyol put Spain ahead after nodding in a Xavi corner, in a performance to top the nations’ displays in South Africa this year.
For Germany, who have been so impressive along their journey, it was a matter of how long they could stop Spain from taking the lead, not able to find the strong counter attack options they have in previous stages.
It was the third consecutive 1-0 win for Spain, and while it is not a flamboyant score line, it proves Spain can up their game no matter who they come up against, and now there is just one more hurdle to overcome before lifting the trophy, and that will come on Sunday in the form of the Netherlands.
