A few minutes later, he tapped in Ezequiel Lavezzi's cross but was unfortunate to be caught offside. Then, Lionel Messi sent the ball past Neuer, but Jerome Boateng cleared the ball away.

After the restart, Messi threatened the Germany defense again, but his shot went wide. Miroslav Klose record-breaking career ended when he was substituted the 88th minute by Mario Gotze. A minute later, Gotze had a chance to end the game early but his shot went into Sergio Romero's arm and the referee ended the 90 minutes play without any score.

The additional extra time begins with Thomas Muller returned Andre Schurrle pass and he fired a strong half-volleyed drive which Romero did well to parry the ball. Argentina had their big chance when Matt Hummels failed to clear the cross but Palacio lob just went over the crossbar. As the game looks to end with a penalty shoot-out, Mario Gotze brilliantly chested down Andre Schurrle's superb cross and volleyed home to cap a historic victory for the jubilant Germans in the 113th minutes.
