FIFA World Cup · Final · 13 July 2014

The Substitute's Volley

Germany 1–0 Argentina · AET · Maracanã Stadium, Rio de Janeiro

A chest control, one left-footed volley, and the World Cup is Germany's.

The final had gone 112 minutes without a goal that counted, and penalties were close. Götze, on for Klose with two minutes of normal time left, chested down Schürrle's cross and volleyed it past Romero. Germany's fourth World Cup came from the bench.
