Spain reaches maiden World Cup final
Spain reached its first World Cup final after beating Germany 1-nil in the second semi-final of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Spain will now meet the Netherlands who beat Uruguay to reach their third final.
Spain won by by an odd goal which is the same scoreline for all their knockout matches.
Germany went into the semi-final having only lost once and having scored 13 goals but they could not find the net against Spain.
The second half goal was enough for Spain to reach its first final in a match were no cautions were issued which could be the only match where that has happened so far.
I will take a look at the table that puts all the results together so far:
