KLMNO WORLD CUP 2010


THURSDAY, JULY 8, 2010


Spain edges Germany to advance to its first Cup final world cup from D1


ances. “We dominated the match,” Xa- vi said. “The Spanish personality imposed itself. In the second half, we had the ball virtually all the time.” Germany, a three-time champi-


on seeking an eighth title game berth, will face Uruguay in Satur- day’s third-place game in Port Elizabeth. The Germans had scored eight goals in the previous two matches, but without quality possession for long periods, they were powerless. “They are the masters of the


game,” Germany Coach Joachim Loew said of the Spaniards. “You can see it in every pass. They can hardly be beaten.” The anticipation began to build early in the morning with sup- porters from both sides in nation- al colors strolling the promenade that leads from the row of seaside hotels and cafes to the glittering arena.


With Brazil, Argentina, Italy, England and France long gone, this match had a championship feel — reigning European cham- pion Spain, cultivator of immense talent but perennial underachiev- er in the World Cup, against Ger- many, a regular figure in the late stages of the tournament. On the eve of the match, play- ers from both teams suggested an open, entertaining match. In- stead of a free-flowing affair, Spain kept an iron grip on pos- session, laboring to break down the Germans. The ball flowed through An-


dres Iniesta and Pedro and to Ser- gio Ramos on the right flank. Ger- many was left to chase shadows. In the 14th minute, Puyol wast-


ed Iniesta’s cross, sending an un- challenged, routine header over the crossbar. With scant posses- sion, Germany had little to offer until the 32nd minute when Piotr Trochowski’s 25-yard effort was slapped aside by the diving Iker Casillas. In first-half stoppage time, Ger-


many pleaded for a penalty kick when Mesut Oezil ran onto a through ball and went down in

German Coach Joachim Loew called Carles Puyol, second from right, Gerard Pique and the Spanish squad “the masters of the game” after Puyol broke open a tightly played game. With Germany pressing, Spain


the box. Ramos had made contact from behind, but Oezil also ap- peared to get his own legs tan- gled. After the break, the teams re- mained painfully cautious. Then, in the 58th minute, the match burst to life. With Spain quicken- ing the pace, Manuel Neuer had to make a diving save on Pedro’s low drive and Iniesta’s cross from deep in the box skipped just be-


yond David Villa at the back post. Germany was bending, and


with little possession to speak of, the assault continued. Iniesta’s footwork — show the ball, pull it back, reverse direction, repeat — was exquisite. German threats were rare. In


the 69th minute, reserve Toni Kroos struck Lukas Podolski’s cross on a short hop, but Casillas covered the back post and


blocked the modest bid. Spain’s breakthrough came on


Xavi’s corner kick into the heart of the box. Puyol’s partner in cen- tral defense, Gerard Pique, was well positioned when the shaggy- haired Puyol, nicknamed “Tar- zan,” came flying into the play for a powerful header that streaked past Neuer. “Puyol just threw himself at the ball,” teammate Xabi Alonso said.
