2014 World Cup Final Heads to Extra Time as Germany and Argentina Remain Deadlocked
There is still no winner in the 2014 FIFA World Cup final between Germany and Argentina, with the score remaining 0-0 after 90 tense and fiercely contested minutes at the Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Both teams had chances to seize control during regulation time. Argentina looked dangerous on the counter-attack, with Lionel Messi threatening the German defense on several occasions. Meanwhile, Germany controlled possession but were unable to break down the resilient Argentine back line.
As the final whistle blew at the end of normal time, it became clear that 30 additional minutes would be needed to determine who will lift the World Cup trophy. If neither side can find a breakthrough in extra time, the match will be decided by a penalty shootout.
A global audience now waits anxiously to see whether one of these footballing giants can carve out a moment of brilliance—or whether fate will rest with the goalkeepers and spot-kick takers.
