Spain win first ever World Cup in Africa


 

Spain won their first ever World Cup on Sunday with a 1-0 victory over Holland in Johannesburg.  The match was a hard fought yet goal-less game and looked set for penalties until a neat Andres Iniesta finish in the 116th minute put the Dutch away and wrapped up Spain’s first ever World Cup trophy and second major trophy in two years.  South African president Jacob Zuma was on hand alongside FIFA president Sepp Blatter, to hand out the trophy to the winners.
