The trophy was brought to the ground in a briefcase carried by Casillas. The case weighs 6,175 kg and is made of 18 carat gold and malachite. It is designed to protect and transport the FIFA World Cup trophy.
Argentina took over the final with some attacking football up front and then took the lead in the 23rd minute as Lionel Messi converted from the penalty spot after Angel Di Maria was brought down in the penalty area.
Di Maria himself struck in the 36th minute to double Argentina’s lead.
