Johannesburg - A late goal by Andres Inestia ensured the first ever World Cup victory for Spain as the La Roja battled it out with the Netherlands in the final of South Africa's first ever FIFA World Cup on Sunday night.

It took an extra 15 minutes for the more than 84 000 spectators at Soccer City stadium to see the only goal of the match as both teams failed to find the back of the net in the normal 90 minutes of play.

After a disappointing goalless first half, the Netherlands looked set to get their opener but despite being one on one with the goalkeeper, striker Arjen Robben failed to convert what was clearly meant to be a goal. Coach Bert van Marwijk stuck to the same tactical line up he used to eliminate the Uruguayans.

Of course we respect them, but we certainly don't fear them. England's first two appearances at the World Cup were paltry, but they improved against Slovenia."
