RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The World Cup final is going to extra time with Argentina and Germany even at 0-0
after 90 minutes Sunday.
Both teams had their chances in regulation. Benedikt Hoewedes’ header hit the post in first-half stoppage
time.
Lionel
Messi missed an early second-half chance, breaking free on the left
side and shooting toward the far post. The ball rolled wide of the
Germany goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and his net.
Messi again shot wide in the 75th.
Germany
had a chance in the 71st, with the ball bouncing between players in
front of goal, but Andre Schuerrle couldn’t get control.
The match was briefly delayed when a man ran onto the field in the 82nd minute. Security tackled him and
took him off the field.
