2014 World Cup Final: Germany 0-0 Argentina at Half-Time
At halftime of the 2014 World Cup final, neither Germany nor Argentina has found the net, with the score locked at 0-0.
Argentina came closest to breaking the deadlock, with Gonzalo Higuain missing a one-on-one opportunity against Germany’s goalkeeper Manuel Neuer in the 21st minute. Higuain appeared to score again in the 30th minute after a precise cross from Lionel Messi, but the goal was disallowed for offside. Messi himself nearly opened the scoring moments before the break, outpacing Mats Hummels on the right flank, only to be denied as he closed in on goal.
Germany, despite controlling much of the possession, had their own chances through Thomas Müller, Miroslav Klose, and Mesut Özil, but were unable to capitalize.
Overall, the first half saw a balanced contest, setting the stage for an exciting second half in Rio de Janeiro.
