Germany edged out Brazil in a gripping match to become the first team to retain the Women's World Cup.
Sandra Smisek showed great composure to pick out captain Birgit Prinz, whose scuffed shot crept under keeper Andreia to set Germany on their way.
Brazil striker Marta, whose early volley crashed against the post, then saw her penalty saved by Nadine Angerer after Linda Bresonik felled Cristiane.
But the Germans sealed the win when Simone Laudehr headed home late on.
A 2-0 scoreline was harsh on a Brazilian side who played with flair and creativity and posed problems throughout.
