Fernando Torres caps a thorough, 90 minute domination of the Germans pacing Spain to their second European Championship and first since 1964. Liverpool's Torres beat a charging Jens Lehman from sharp angle in the 33" to net what proved to be the 1-nil gamewinner in Vienna at Ernst-Happel-Stadion.

Spain are Champions of Europe and 44 years without a major international trophy left supporters to vent years of pent up frustrations during a night of wild celebration throughout the nation. Madrid alone saw 52 supporters arrested and one man found dead in the street, still adorned in his red kit of Spain.
