From a short corner in the 12th minute, Xabi Alonso crossed to the back post where Villa smacked a left-footed volley into the side-netting.
Three minutes later, Dutch forward Robin van Persie's late tackle on Joan Capdevila was met with the final's first yellow card. But Spain defender Carles Puyol, who headed in the winning goal in the semifinal, leveled up the yellow count for his tackle on Arjen Robben.
The third yellow card of the final went to Dutch midfielder Mark van Bommel for an absolutely tackle on Iniesta from behind on 22 minutes, and the fourth was given to Ramos for piling in on Dirk Kuyt after one minute.
Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong went in the book in the 28th minute for clattering Alonso with a karate kick in the chest. Webb should have shown a red for such an awful tackle.
A short corner from the Dutch offers two chances in the 37th minute. Van Bommel scuffed his shot on the edge of the box, but he did better than Joris Mathijsen, who totally missed his kick at the back post.
The 45th minute witnessed a free kick across goal before Puyol cleared, then Robben's low shot was turned behind by a scrambling Iker Casillas.
Puyol leaped high to meet the corner at the near post in the 48th minute and as it fell to the back post, Joan Capdevila missed his kick from seven yards out.
The Netherlands collected two yellow cards around 55 minutes, one for Giovanni van Bronckhorst and the other for Heitinga. And Puyol was also cautioned later.
