Germany wins. Wow, what a match! Germany pressed hard early. Argentina players were incredible in controlling the ball in tight places. Argentina scores first on Roberto Ayala’s header off a corner. Klose equalised in in the 80th minute to even the score at 1-1. After two 15 minute halves, both teams even at 1-1. On [...]
