Mario Gotze
Mario Gotze - scored the winner

A goal which is scored at a crucial and vital moment should also be recognized as a great one. Mario Gotze's left-footed shot took Germany home with the World Cup, it was a 113th-minute goal which shocked everyone and sent Argentina packing.

Imagine the situation, two of the best teams in the world fighting in the finals. The second half of extra time; Andre Schürrle making the most of a great dribble and a perfect pass to Gotze who makes no mistake in receiving the ball on his chest before a well-timed volley to take the lead 1-0.

Sergio Romero could hardly do anything, and the entire Argentina squad just hung their heads in helplessness, in what could have been an astounding World Cup victory for their main man, Lionel Messi.

Here is the moment that made the difference.
