The 2014 World Cup final at the Maracana between Germany and Argentina has gone to extra time.

Both sides had openings in what was an end-to-end 90 minutes of football, with Gonzalo Higuain passing up the best chance for Argentina in the first period.

Germany, meanwhile, rattled the woodwork late in the first period through Benedikt Howedes but struggled to create clear openings in the second half.

Germany are bidding to become the first European team to win the World Cup on South American soil.
