The Golden Glove award was won by Unai Simon of Spain while Young Player Award went to his team mate Pau Cubarsi.
Luis de la Fuente, Spain coach after winning the final said:
“I think the game should have been decided earlier. Dibu’s [Martinez] great saves prevented us from winning sooner but it’s a World Cup final and, even with ten players at the end, you have to suffer.”
