And while Germany looked strong as the full-time whistle approached inside the Maracana stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the players found the Argentine defence far less porous than that of Brazil on Tuesday, and struggled to make a break through on goal in normal time.
Both teams had a chance to score in the first half of extra time, with Germany's Andre Schurrle and Argentina's Rodrigo Palacio both spurning chances to put their sides ahead.
The game had seemed destined for penalties until Schuerrle escaped down the left and sent in a cross that Götze controlled on his chest before slamming home.
