Xavi wins Man of the Match

Barcelona midfielder Xavi was named Man of the Match on Wednesday as Spain defeated Germany 1-0 to reach their first ever World Cup final, dpa reported.
Xavi set up Carles Puyol's 73rd minute matchwinner to deny Germany the chance of reaching the final.
His curling corner from the left was met by the onrushing Puyol, whose powerful header left German goalkeeper Manuel Neuer no chance.
