Spain reached its first-ever World Cup final with a dominant performance in its semifinal match against Germany on Wednesday. La Furia Roja completed 549 passes, bringing their World Cup total to 3,236, second only to Brazil's 3,547 passes completed in 1994 for most all-time. Germany was limited to two shots on target in this match, its lowest total at this World Cup.

• Xavi completed 105 passes, becoming just the eighth player to complete at least 100 passes in a World Cup match since the stat was first tracked in 1966. The midfielder also had seven chances created -- defined as passes from teammates that lead to shots -- on Wednesday, bringing his tournament-leading total to 25. With his performance today, Xavi now has 509 completed passes, becoming the second player to complete 500 passes at a single World Cup. Brazil's Dunga, who completed 589 in 1994, is the other.

• NEXT LEVEL: Spain had 54.9 percent of the touches against Germany, its lowest percentage in a match at this World Cup. However, Spain was controlling 58 percent of the touches at the time of Carlos Puyol's goal in the 73rd minute. From that point on, Germany controlled the majority of the touches as Spain withdrew from attack. Spain is averaging 61.2 percent of the touches in its matches at this World Cup, higher than any team since the stat was first tracked in 1966.

• Germany's midfield playmakers Bastian Schweinsteiger and Mesut Özil both suffered from their worst passing days in this World Cup. Schweinsteiger completed only 76.5 percent of his passes while Özil connected on just 78.0 percent of his. Schweinsteiger had been connecting on 88.7 percent of his passes entering Wednesday and Özil on 84.9 percent of his attempts.
