In what many fans are considering a dream football matchup, Spain will face off against Brazil in the Confederations Cup final at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium.

In a nail-biting game, Spain prevailed over Italy via 7-6 margin, courtesy of a penalty shootout score.

" I think everybody was waiting for this Confederations Cup final to be Spain vs. Brazil. I think the two teams that deserve to play the final are actually playing it," Spain captain Iker Casillas stated, according to The Vancouver Sun.

Jesus Nava had netted the go-ahead goal in a grueling game that featured high humidity and severe heat.

Interesting enough, no player missed in the penalty shootout until Leonardo Bonucci kicked it over the bar to allow Navas an attempt at the winner.

"We have to now consider what we have to do in the three days to recover. And we will definitely stand up to Brazil in the Maracana. The players should feel just as happy as kids playing in the Maracana. They have won a lot, but they want to win in the Maracana, said Spain manager Vicente del Bosque.
