The 2014 World Cup in Brazil ended with Germany beating Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the Maracana final on 13 July 2014, Mario Gotze volleying the winner from Andre Schurrle's cross - at 22 years and 40 days the youngest scorer in a World Cup final since Wolfgang Weber in 1966.
Why this wins its question: The final's decisive moment with the age record and the sourced Low anecdote, bound to FIFA's own retrospective rather than fan retellings.
