The Netherlands
Maarten Stekelenburg: Brilliant reaction save early on from Sergio Ramos and then Fabregas late on but could do nothing to stop Iniesta's winner. 7
Gregory van der Wiel: Stalwart left-back who put in a good shift. 6
John Heitinga: Found it uncomfortable faced with Villa and Iniesta and eventually walked for two cautions. 5
Joris Mathijsen: Complete miskick when given a glorious chance but not there for his scoring. Caught out for the goal. 4.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst: Pick of the Dutch defenders despite being the oldest player on the pitch. 7
Mark van Bommel: Spiky in the tackle, and deservedly booked for reckless take-out of Iniesta. A purely destructive influence. 5
Dirk Kuyt: Gave the ball away too much but helped out in defence to restrict Sergio Ramos. 5
Nigel de Jong: Tried to emulate partner-in-crime Van Bommel and lucky not to see red for a shocker on Alonso. 4
Robin van Persie: Battled vainly in his lone role up front with little reward. 6
Wesley Sneijder: Quiet game generally, but two killer passes to Robben could have made all the difference. 6
Arjen Robben: Netherlands' most dangerous player and will have nightmares about the one-on-one chance he missed. 8
Substitutes:
Eljero Elia: A couple of runs had potential but failed to pick out the right ball. 5
Edson Braafheid: Did not have much chance to shine. 5
Spain
Iker Casillas: Stunning saves to deny Robben twice and a calming presence for Spain. 8
Gerard Pique: Twice he and Puyol were split open by Robben's runs and twice Casillas had to come to the rescue. 6
Carles Puyol: Looked short of pace against Robben in particular. 4
Andres Iniesta: Man of the match. Some fantastic incisive passes. Got better as the game went on and a stunning winner. 9
David Villa: Darting runs a constant menace but unable to add to his five goals for the competition. 7
Xavi: Not quiet the master he has been - disrupted by Netherlands' physical approach. 6
Joan Capdevila: Had the toughest task to deal with Robben but usually matched him. 7
Xabi Alonso: Kept the ball flowing but was knocked out of his stride by Netherlands' tough tackling. 5
Sergio Ramos: Marauding presence down the right but missed a great chance to head Spain in front. 6
Sergio Busquets: Played the holding role with aplomb. 6
Pedro: Excellent in the first half, justifying his place ahead of Torres, but faded. 7
Substitutes:
Cesc Fabregas: changed the game when he came on. Almost scored before setting up Iniesta for the winner. 8
Jesus Navas: A breath of fresh air for the Spanish. 7
Fernando Torres: predictable but distressing appearance - went down injured after only a few minutes. 4
