 In the knockout stages, if a match is level at the end of normal playing time, extra time is played (two periods of 15 minutes each) and followed, if necessary, by a penalty shoot-out to determine the winner, except for the third place match where no extra time is played as the match is played directly before the final.The pairing Nigeria vs Germany is a repeat of the 2010 final which Germany won 2–0.Germany won their third title and joined USA in first place with three titles each.
