The 2014 FIFA World Cup Final was a football match that took place on 13 July 2014 at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to determine the 2014 FIFA World Cup champion.[2][3] Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 in extra time, with the only goal being scored by Mario Götze, who collected André Schürrle's cross from the left on his chest before volleying a high left-footed shot into the net. The match was the third final between the two countries, a World Cup record, after their 1986 and 1990 matches.

Before the match, Germany had reached the World Cup final seven times (six times as West Germany from 1954 to 1990), winning three (1954, 1974, 1990) and being runners-up four times (1966, 1982, 1986, 2002); Argentina had reached four finals, winning twice (1978, 1986) and placing second twice (1930, 1990).

The result marked Germany's fourth World Cup title, their first since German reunification, and the first World Cup won by a European team in the Americas. The victory meant that three consecutive World Cups have been won by teams from the same continent, following Italy and Spain in 2006 and 2010 respectively, the first time this has happened in World Cup history. With the win, Germany qualified for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup.

In the winning German team, Miroslav Klose, who had become the top scorer in World Cup history in the semi-final victory over Brazil, became one of the very few players ever to have won gold, silver and bronze in the World Cup (bronze in 2006 and 2010, silver in 2002 and gold in 2014), joining an all-German club with such players as Franz Beckenbauer,[4] Sepp Maier[5][6] and Wolfgang Overath[7] (1966–1974).

Background

The final at the Maracanã

The two teams had met in 20 previous matches, with 6 wins for Germany, 5 draws, and 9 wins for Argentina. In these games, both teams had scored a total of 28 goals. Six of these matches were at a World Cup, two of them in the Final. The final was the 7th match between them, equalling a World Cup head-to-head record (along with Brazil vs Sweden, and Germany vs Yugoslavia).

Previous World Cup matches between the teams

Among the players in the 2014 World Cup squads, the following played in the 2006 and 2010 meetings: Klose scored one goal in the 2006 meeting and two goals in the 2010 meeting, while Müller scored one goal in the 2010 meeting.[14] Germany manager Joachim Löw was the assistant manager in 2006 and the manager in 2010.

Previous appearance of players from the teams

The most recent meeting between the two teams was a friendly match played on 15 August 2012 at Commerzbank-Arena, Frankfurt am Main, won by Argentina 3–1.[15] Before the tournament, a friendly was scheduled for 3 September 2014, being the first match for both teams after the World Cup.[16]

Match ball

See also: Adidas Brazuca

The match ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup Final, announced on 29 May 2014, featured a variation of the Adidas Brazuca named the Adidas Brazuca Final Rio.[32] Whilst the technical aspects of the ball were the same, the design was different from the Brazuca balls used in the group stages and other playoffs, with a green, gold and black coloring.[32] It was the third special ball for FIFA World Cup final matches, after the +Teamgeist Berlin (2006 FIFA World Cup) and the Jo'bulani (2010 FIFA World Cup).

Match officials

Italian Nicola Rizzoli was named as the referee of the final, together with fellow Italians Renato Faverani and Andrea Stefani as the assistant referees, and Carlos Vera and Christian Lescano from Ecuador as the fourth and fifth officials.[33] In the 2014 World Cup, Rizzoli took charge of the Spain–Netherlands and Nigeria–Argentina matches in the group stage, and the quarter-final between Argentina and Belgium. He had previously taken charge of the 2010 UEFA Europa League Final and the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final, as well as named as one of the referees in the 2011 FIFA Club World Cup, UEFA Euro 2012 and 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup. He became the third Italian referee to take charge of a World Cup final, after Sergio Gonella in 1978 and Pierluigi Collina in 2002.[33]

Match

Summary

Götze scoring the winning goal for Germany

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 was later injured and substituted in the first half, for André Schürrle.[34]

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. Shortly afterwards Mario's FIFA 14 Ultimate Team card was sold for 100,000 coins on Xbox 360. Worth as much as the whole German defense[35] He became the first substitute to score a World Cup-winning goal,[36] as well as the youngest player to score in a World Cup Final since German Wolfgang Weber in 1966 (same age, 22).[37] 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.

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.[38][39]

Notable spectators

Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel (left) attended the final. However, President of Argentina Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (right) was absent due to illness.

Host President Dilma Rousseff invited the BRICS leaders to the final ahead of the 6th BRICS summit. Among these invited leaders was Vladimir Putin, the President of Russia, the next World Cup hosts,[41] and Jacob Zuma, the President of South Africa, the previous host.[42] The Chinese President, Xi Jinping, and the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, did not attend the event. Other world leaders Viktor Orbán (Hungary), Ali Bongo Ondimba (Gabon) and Gaston Browne (Antigua and Barbuda) also attended the event, which led The Guardian to label the guest list "bizarre and random".[43] Rousseff delivered the trophy to the champions in the awards ceremony.[44]

German President Joachim Gauck and Chancellor Angela Merkel were present for the final. Merkel already watched the Germany vs. Portugal match in Salvador, when the German team won 4–0.[45] The President of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, did not attend because of both her grandson's birthday and a case of pharyngo-laryngitis.[46]

Several celebrities also attended the final, including Mick Jagger, David Beckham, Fabio Cannavaro, Lothar Matthäus, Daniel Passarella, Plácido Domingo Jr., Ashton Kutcher, Daniel Craig, Tom Brady, LeBron James, Rihanna and Pelé.[47][48][49]

Ceremonies

The closing ceremony took place about an hour and forty minutes before the final.[50] A performance of two acts, the ceremony lasted about 20 minutes. The first act featured 22 samba dancers and a host of other performers, with 32 of the dancers wearing dresses decorated in the colours of the 32 participating teams. The second act featured musical performances headlined by Colombian singer Shakira, and included singers Carlinhos Brown, Wyclef Jean, Alexandre Pires, Ivete Sangalo and world-renowned guitarist Carlos Santana.[51][52][53]

Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen and Carles Puyol, a member of Spain's winning team in 2010, unveiled the FIFA World Cup Trophy.[54]
