Goals & Highlights – Germany Finally Oust the Italians

Germany booked their place in the last four of the European Championships after finally beating the Italians in a major tournament.
The World Champions changed their system to battle the Azzurri and the two sides played with a very similar 3-5-2 formation.
Arsenal star Mesut Ozil opened the scoring in the 65th minute for the Germans. However, a silly mistake at the back by Boateng gifted Italy the chance to equalize. Bonucci stepped up for the Italians and scored from the spot.
With no further goals in normal/extra time, the game was decided on penalties. Germany are the greatest penalty-taking side in the history and after a lot of shootout drama, Joachim Low’s men eliminated Italy from Euro 2016.
