Special Report: 2008 European Championships
Spain have clinched the Euro 2008 title with a deserved 1-nil victory over Germany at the Ernst-Happel Stadium in Vienna.
Due to an injury to the tournament's top scorer David Villa, Spain played with 5 across the midfield and dominated the match with their fluent passing.
Moments after hitting the post with a header, lone striker Fernando Torres scored the game's only goal in the 33rd minute, outpacing Philip Lahm and clipping the ball over German keeper Jens Lehmann.
A lacklustre German side rarely threatened and only had four attempts at goal to Spain's 13. It's Spain's second European Championship win and their first major title for 44 years.

Both teams played terribly. It was a poor match and a let-down of a final.
