- Story Text: Spanish fans go crazy as Spain scores in extra time to lift the World Cup.
Fans at the fan zone in Madrid started the all-night party as their team beat Holland 1-0 in the World Cup final on Sunday (July 11).
After a nervous 90 minutes, fans started to believe that their team might have the edge when Holland's Heitinga was sent-off.
And after Iniesta put Spain in front towards the end of extra-time the slow realization that the European Champions would now be World Champions started to dawn.
And after Howard Webb blew the final whistle the party in Madrid and the whole of Spain had begun. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
