At a World Cup where substitutes made more impact than ever, it was fitting that Mario Goetze came off the bench to win it, and another replacement supplied the inch-perfect cross.
Goetze's extra-time goal to beat Argentina was the 32nd scored by a substitute in Brazil.
The previous best, 23 at the 2006 World Cup in Germany, is not even close.
