FIFA Women's World Cup 2007 (champions - Germany)
Germany retained the trophy at China PR 2007, beating Brazil 2-0 at the Shanghai Hongkou Football Stadium on 30 September 2007 through Birgit Prinz and Simone Laudehr. They were the first team ever to defend the Women's World Cup, and Brazil the first South American side to reach the final.
Why this wins its question: Both firsts in one place - first successful defence, first Europe-versus-South America final - with the two scorers named, where most summaries record only the 2-0 result.
