Extra time
Still goalless after 90 minutes. Sergio Aguero’s arrival for the second half didn’t help Argentina. Aside from a shot early in the half, Lionel Messi was subdued, placing a shot wide early in the half. Germany keeper Manuel Neuer could easily have been sent off his over-the-top challenge on Gonzalo Higuain, which left the striker bruised and he was subbed a few minutes later. Germany look exhausted, with Argentina not far behind.
