Germany 1- 0 Argentina World Cup final 2014
Germany 1 0 Argentina World Cup final 2014:
03.55 (IST): An exceptional World Cup comes to an end! What a roller coaster it has been! 64 games and a 171 goals later, Germany are standing with the coveted trophy in their hands. Apart from the winners, the tournament has seen a host of sub-plots, from a few underdog stories to Brazil's resounding loss that derailed the World Cup dream. The tournament that gave the World a young superstar in Colombia's James Rodriguez , also witnessed a 31-year-old Arjen Robben perform to his best and help Netherlands reach the semis. In contrast, Cristiano Ronaldo and his Portugal side faded away with a group stage exit and England were sent packing early. Messi did well to guide his side till the final but failed to score in the final and ended on the losing side. His consolation prize was the Golden Ball but he did not look one bit elated after what transpired in the 120 minutes of football.
03.33 (IST): Colombia's 22-year-old attacking mid-fielder JAMES RODRIGUEZ (6 goals) wins the Golden Boot.
03.26 (IST): MANUEL NEUER wins the Golden Glove award!
03.23 (IST): LIONEL MESSI has won the Golden Ball Award!
03.08 (IST): It's all over! Germany are the World champions! They clinch their fourth World Cup title and become the first European side to win on South American soil.
03.05 (IST): Two minutes of added time. Can Argentina provide some late drama?
02.58 (IST): It was a great combination from Germany's super-subs Schurrle and Goetze as the former put in the air ball for the latter to collect it inside the box and slot it in the back of the net.
02.57 (IST): This is the first time Argentina have trailed in this World Cup and what an unfortunate time for them to do so! Germany are under five minutes away from a World Cup triumph.
02.55 (IST): GOAL! Mario Goetze puts Germany ahead in the 113th minute.
02.52 (IST): 109' Oh that looks nasty! Schweinsteiger is bleeding under his right eye after a mid-air collision with Argentina's Mascherano.
02.48 (IST): The game has taken a heavy toll on players. Messi was seen vomiting during the game.
02.44 (IST): First period of extra-time ends. Still no goals in this game. Can the last 15 minutes yield a World Cup winner?
02.36 (IST): 97' Palacio! Marcus Rojo puts in a splendid ball and the German defenders are caught napping. But Palacio's first touch is a bit strong and his attempted chip over an advancing Neuer is off-target.
00.40 (IST): Lavezzi is making life tough for the German left-back with his surging runs. For the moment though, Germans are holding on. Argentina win their first corner in the 11th minute.
00.38 (IST): Muller is making early strides in the Argentine half and putting pressure on the Argentine goalkeeper Romero. On the other end however, Messi too is making his scintillating runs. Absorbing first 10 minutes.
00.33 (IST): 5' Counter! The free-kick was a tame effort from Germany and the quick Argentine players created a chance out of nothing. Forward Gonzalo Higuain had a chance but hit it wide.
00.29 (IST): A late change for Germany! Central midfielder Sami Khedira is out due to injury. Christoph Kramer replaces him in the starting line-up.
00.28 (IST): Klose, who is the only player in the match today who has featured in a World Cup final before, leads the line for Germany. Argentina has Lionel Messi up-front, who is still searching for his first knockout stage goal.
00.27 (IST): "It's an honour. I never imagined I'd have the kind of career I've had, living a dream cherished by millions of children and doing what I enjoy most. Likewise, I never thought that the last act of my sporting career would be presenting the trophy at the World Cup Final. I am very grateful to FIFA for thinking of me. I've been lucky enough to play in the final of a World Cup before, but it's always an amazing experience to walk out at a packed stadium," Puyol said, as reported by FIFA.com.
00.24 (IST): Both teams are now out for their respective national anthems.
00.20 (IST): Legends in the house! Former footballing heroes Kaka, Pele and David Beckham are in Maracana for the final showdown.
