参考答案：

1. that/which2. forget3. carefully4. in5. and6. second7. their8. to keep9. biggest10. Sadly

解析：

1.所在句“It was a night ____ football fans will never forget”是定语从句，先行词night在从句中作forget的宾语，故填关系代词that或which；本题一些同学可能会误填when，认为when引导时间状语从句，或者when在从句中充当时间状语的成分，但实际上空格部分是forget的宾语，所以只能填which或者that。

6. 第6空Spain's后须用序数词表示“第二次夺冠”，two→second；

7. 第7空said后缺限定名词captain的物主代词，指西班牙队的队长，填their；

8. 第8空“the first goalkeeper”后用不定式作后置定语，the first...to do为固定结构，填to keep，语篇依据是Simón单届世界杯7场零封的纪录；

9. 第9空空前有the、句中有in history这一比较范围，用最高级big→biggest；

10. 第10空位于句首修饰全句作评注性状语，用副词Sadly，表“遗憾的是”，首字母大写。
