        Minute By Minute

        • The referee ends the second period of extra time.
          After 1954, 1974 and 1990...2014. Germany win their fourth World Cup and the first by a European team in the Americas. Argentina were so close but Mario Götze has written his name into football history at the age of 22.
        • 120+3 ET
          Messi (Argentina) misses the target.
        • 120+3 ET
          Messi (Argentina) takes the free-kick.
        • 120+1 ET
          Schweinsteiger (Germany) is penalised for a foul on Messi (Argentina).
        • Substitution
          120 ET
          Mertesacker (in) - Özil (out) (Germany)
          A last substitution. Into added time now.
        • 120 ET
          Özil (Germany) is penalised for a foul on Mascherano (Argentina).
        • 118 ET
          Messi (Argentina) misses the target.
        • Goal
          113 ET
          Götze (Germany) scores!
          Mario Götze hooks the ball in after a cross from fellow substitute André Schürrle. Has the man who was winning the UEFA European Under-17 Championship five years ago just decided the FIFA World Cup final?
        • 110 ET
          T. Müller (Germany) is penalised for a foul on Demichelis (Argentina).
        • 110 ET
          Kroos (Germany) takes the free-kick.
          ...which comes to nothing. Schweinsteiger is receiving treatment off the pitch, while Kevin Grosskreutz may be on shortly.
        • 109 ET
          Agüero (Argentina) is penalised for a foul on Schweinsteiger (Germany).

        • The second period of extra time begins.
        • The referee brings the first period of extra time to an end.
          Each side had one good chance in those 15 minutes but still no goals. Two past finals have gone to penalties, Brazil beating Italy in 1994 a the Azzurri defeating France in 2006. Germany did lose the 1976 UEFA European Championship final on spot-kicks to Czechoslovakia, the only EURO decider to be settled that way; Argentina lost the 2004 Copa América to Brazil in similar fashion.

        • The first period of extra time begins.
        • End Time
          The final whistle is blown.

        • Substitution
          86
          Gago (in) - Pérez (out) (Argentina)

        • End Time

        • 37

        • 30
