Spain have had about 72% of the passing in the tournament so far, with a tournament low of 57% against Germany. Today they went back to their normal levels, dominating Holland and controlling 70% of passing and territory:
Spain | Minutes | Pass F/90 | Weighted | Pass A/90 | Weighted | % Passes | Weighted |
Tied | 122.3 | 414 | 87 | 207 | 38 | 67 | 70 |
Up 1 | 6.9 | 26 | 5 | 156 | 38 | 14 | 12 |

Spain maintained this control over most of the game, too, though they were more dominant in the first 20 minutes:
Spain was the best team in this tournament, so ultimately, it's no surprise that they won.
