Carles Puyol’s thunderous header off a corner kick late in the second half of this morning's World Cup semi-final game gave Spain the 1-0 lead they needed to beat Germany.
“This is one of the greatest moments for Spain, for us to be in the final of the World Cup, it’s history,” said David Villa, who remains tied with Netherlands playmaker Wesley Sneijder for the tournament scoring lead at five goals apiece. “And we want to make more history in the final.”
Spain will play the Netherlands on Sunday at Soccer City in Johannesburg, ensuring a first-time champion. The Dutch, who beat Uruguay 3-2 on Tuesday night, have lost in their only two trips to the final.
The two teams have never met in the World Cup and their all-time series is dead even.
