The Spanish actually were on top of their game, so much that they enjoyed over 65% of the total possession. The attempts on goal were however rather few and far in between even though the Spanish seemed more likely to score first. The first half saw both teams go into the dug out with no goals scored just as yet. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/germany-v-spain-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"germany-v-spain\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-7055\" \/>When the second half resumed, the Spanish started off where they had left off, dictating affairs and coming close on a couple of occasions.
