Substitutes

Vera – 5.5 – Replaced Barreto, but failed to have the same impact as his predecessor.

Santa Cruz – 6.5 – Had only 18 minutes to make an impact, and could not net a winner. Had a decent chance immediately after coming off the bench and another shortly before the final whistle, but both were blocked.

Barrios – N/A – Struck late with enough venom to force an error from Casillas, but had too little time on the pitch to be properly evaluated.




SPAIN

Casillas - 7 - Will be remembered for his penalty save and heroics to deny Santa Cruz at the death, but to be fair, it was his poor handling of Barrios' shot that gave the Manchester City striker the opportunity to shoot in the first place.

Sergio Ramos - 7 - Might have scored the winner in parallel universe, but had his effort from close ranged cleared off the line. The Real Madrid defender offered good attacking support on the right flank, and never had many problems in defence.

Puyol - 6.5 - By far the better of the two central defenders, the Barcelona man struggled for pace on one or two occasions, but used his instincts well. Had very little to do, overall.
