The Euro 2008 champions overcome Germany to reach second successive final.

The World Cup cartel will have to make room for a new member after Spain joined Holland in the final - ensuring a first time winner will lift the trophy on Sunday night.

The Euro 2008 champions squeaked past Germany in tonight's semi-final by the same score-line that has got them past both Portugal and Paraguay in the knock-out stages - 1-0.

But unlike in previous rounds, David Villa wasn't the hero as veteran defender Carlos Puyol took the goal-scoring limelight, heading home a corner in the 73rd minute. The Barcelona man was backed at [130.0] to open the scoring.

Spain will go into Sunday's final as the [1.62] favourites to win the World Cup with opponents Holland available to back at [2.6]
