What a way to end your career. Looks like there'll be no Golden Ball trophy for you Zidane!
It was Zidane's last meaningful contribution to the French cause as with 10 minutes left of extra-time, his professional career ended in shameful circumstances.
He became involved in a dispute with Materazzi and, inexplicably, headbutted the Italian in the chest.
After the assistant referee informed referee Horacio Elizondo of the incident, the Argentine was left with no choice but to send Zidane off.
His team-mates looked shell-shocked, but they held on to force penalties for only the second time in a World Cup final after Italy lost to Brazil in 1994.
