Sporting eventAndres Iniesta's late winner in the 2010 World Cup Final was a moment of pure magic. The match between Spain and the Netherlands had been intense and physical, with both teams creating few clear-cut chances throughout the 90 minutes. As the game entered extra time, it seemed destined for a penalty shootout. However, Iniesta had other plans. He received a pass from Cesc Fabregas in the 116th minute and, with precision and power, volleyed the ball past Netherlands goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg into the bottom corner of the net. This goal not only secured Spain's first-ever World Cup title but also cemented Iniesta's place in football history. The emotional impact of the moment was heightened by Iniesta's tribute to his late friend Dani Jarque, whose name was written on his undershirt. The goal was a testament to Iniesta's skill and composure under pressure, and it marked the culmination of Spain's journey from an opening loss to becoming champions. The victory was celebrated by millions worldwide, and Iniesta's goal remains one of the most iconic moments in World Cup history.
