Spain won the Euro 2008 finals as was widely predicted. Fernando Torres was creating havoc in the German's territory. He literaly tore their defence into shreds. He came close to scoring once before he actually scored. He soared high in the sky to head a fantastic cross from campdevella right into the left post leaving poor lehmann gasping for breath. It immediately sent shivers down the spines of the Germans, who remained mostly ineffective during the entire first half except for sporadic moves into the spanish half. The German midfield was totally ineffective, with fringes forced to pass the ball back to his defenders, whenever he got hold of the ball.
Ultimately, the goal came due to a mistake by Phillip Lham and Lehmann, who instead of dealing with a pass decisively, which sent Torres on a goal bound move, tried to fend off the strong Torres. Torres was too strong for them and he scooped the ball over a diving Lehmann to send the Spanish crowd into raptures.
