Germany vs Argentina 2-4 Highlights & Goals
International Friendly, 03 Sept 2014.
0-1 Sergio Aguero
0-2 Lamela
0-3 Fernandez
0-4 Angel Di Maria
1-4 Schurrle
2-4 Mario Gotze
Germany 2-4 Argentina: World Cup champions dismantled by Di Maria
The winger scored one goal and created three others, for Sergio Aguero, Erik Lamela and Federico Fernandez, before Andre Schurrle and Mario Gotze replied for the stunned hosts
Angel Di Maria was the star of the show as Argentina impressively dismantled Germany 4-2 in Dusseldorf on Wednesday night.
The winger, who joined Manchester United for a British record transfer fee of €84 million last week, stole the show with an outstanding performance in the World Cup final re-match, giving fans of the Premier League club plenty of reason for cheer.
And while a friendly win – even one as resounding as this – did little to avenge their heartbreak in Brazil, Argentina could at least take heart from the fact that they ruined Germany's homecoming party at the Esprit Arena.
Di Maria missed the World Cup final through injury, as Mario Gotze's extra-time goal settled matters in Rio de Janeiro and gave Germany their fourth success on football's grandest stage.
But the former Real Madrid attacker gave Germany left-back Eric Durm a torrid time on this occasion and set up Argentina's first three goals, scored by Sergio Aguero, Erik Lamela and Federico Fernandez respectively.
Di Maria then got in on the act himself, extending their lead with an exquisite 50th-minute chip over Germany substitute Roman Weidenfeller, meaning Andre Schurrle's quick response and Gotze's deflected 78th-minute strike were no more than consolations for a Germany side who saw Mario Gomez miss a host of first-half chances.
