Although Germany's defense was World Class but attacks nearly every 2m by Aussies must have taken out a lot of steam from the German tanks.
As Aussies celebrate in jubiliation, it is sad time for Germans. They squat wherever they are on turf in loneliness.

What a finish for Australia. They have won this World Cup beating 2 times defending champions Germany 2-1. Aussies were in control many a times in the game. It was only in the second half Germany started playing the attacking game and that is where it became an exciting contest.

Goal for Aus, Score 2-1 in favour of Aus: Luke DOERNER scores right of Tim JESSULAT with his drag flick. Interestingly, Doerner was not in the field when the foul happened and by the time PC was awarded, he came in as substitution. Is there a loop hole in the referal system?

Others
Aus attempt to enter German circle but Germans don't let them. It's half time here at Dhyan Chand National Stadium in Delhi
It has been a thoroughly Australian game till now. They have accelerated the game to high level and Germans have to do something solid to bring down this momentum. Considering the superior Circle penentrations and Shots at the goal by Australia, Germans have done well to keep the score line low to 1-0.
