Germany's Manuel Neuer won the World Cup Golden Glove award for the tournament's best goalkeeper after helping his side to a 1-0 victory over Argentina in Sunday's final.
The 28-year-old Bayern Munich player was presented with the award at Rio de Janeiro's Maracana Stadium moments after the triumph.
"It is unbelievable, and an awesome experience," said Neuer of his side's victory, which gave Germany their fourth world title.
Neuer beat off competition from Argentine opposite number Sergio Romero and Keylor Navas of surprise package Costa Rica to win the award.
The former Schalke goalkeeper was beaten only four times in the tournament and kept four clean sheets, including the 1-0 quarter-final win over France and the victory over Argentina in the final.
He succeeds Spain's Iker Casillas, who was voted the outstanding goalkeeper at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
