World Cup: Spain becomes fourth country in history to reach final conceding one goal
Spain on Tuesday became the fourth country in the history of the FIFA World Cup to reach a final, conceding just one goal.
The La Roja conceded just one goal against Belgium in the quarter-final stage, before reaching the final, thanks to a 2-0 win against France.
The other countries to achieve this feat are the Netherlands, Brazil, and Italy.
The Netherlands is the first team to achieve this feat in 1974, when Bulgaria scored a penalty in the group stage. They eventually lost the final 2-1 to West Germany.
Brazil is the second team to achieve it in 2002, as they conceded one goal against Turkey, but eventually reached the final and defeated Germany 2-0 to lift the trophy.
The third was Italy in 2006. They conceded an own goal against the USA, but won the final against France.
