<P> Both teams named unchanged starting line - ups from their semi-finals, but German midfielder Sami Khedira withdrew during the warm - up with a calf injury . He was replaced by Christoph Kramer, who had made two brief substitute appearances during the tournament . Kramer himself suffered a head injury after a collision with Ezequiel Garay inside the penalty area, but was initially cleared to continue playing . Fourteen minutes later in the 31st minute however, he collapsed to the ground, apparently suffering from concussion and was replaced by André Schürrle . </P> <P> Argentina's Gonzalo Higuaín missed a good opportunity in the first half, dragging his shot wide after being put through on goal by a misjudged header from Toni Kroos . He had a goal disallowed later in the first half, when he was ruled offside after tapping in a cross by Ezequiel Lavezzi from the right wing . Lionel Messi wasted a chance early in the second half, firing wide of the German goal from inside the penalty area after receiving a through pass . In extra time, Rodrigo Palacio's lob over Manuel Neuer went just wide after the forward received a cross, missed by Mats Hummels, in the German penalty area . Germany had the closest chance when Benedikt Höwedes' header hit the post after a corner . </P> <P> Mario Götze of Germany scored during extra time, in the 113th minute, when he collected Schürrle's cross from the left on his chest before volleying left - footed into the net .

Prior to Götze's goal, Germany came close to scoring on a number of occasions, including a header by Benedikt Höwedes that struck the Argentine goalpost just before halftime . Schürrle later struck a close - range shot straight at Argentine goalkeeper Sergio Romero early in the first half of extra time, after a pass from Götze . Thomas Müller had a chance to double Germany's lead after dribbling past two defenders, but his shot across the net was too wide . </P> <P> Late in extra time, Messi had a free kick within goal - scoring distance, which would have equalised, but he hit it over the crossbar . </P>
