When Italy surrendered the ball in its half, Xavi collected and quickly found Torres to slide his shot past Buffon and inside the far post in the 84th minute.
Minutes later, Juan Mata came off the bench like Torres, and took his Chelsea teammate's pass to score into an Italian goal left unguarded yet again. It was his first shot of the tournament, and Spain's final goal.
