Germany v Italy, 02 July 2016

Kick-off: 9.00pm local (8.00pm BST). Germany won 6-5 on penalties. After extra time - 1-1 at 90 minutes. Assistant referees: György Ring (Hungary) Vencel Tóth (Hungary) Fourth official: Szymon Marciniak (Poland) Additional assistant referees: Tamás Bognár (Hungary) Ádám Farkas (Hungary) Reserve assistant referee: Paweł Sokolnicki (Poland) Man of the Match: Manuel Neuer (Germany) Germany had not beaten Italy in eight previous major tournament meetings. Bastien Schweinsteiger came on after an injury to Sami Khedira, equalling the record for appearances at European Championships and World Cups finals held by fellow countryman Miroslav Klose with 37 appearances. Mesut Ozil put Germany ahead on 65 minutes. Germany looked the better side until Jerome Boateng gave away a penalty, with an unfortunate handball, which Leonardo Bonucci put away to even up the scores. As the game drifted into extra time, penalties seemed inevitable - and perhaps inevitably the Germans won, although both sets of players served up some appalling penalty misses. In reaching the semi-finals for the 13th time in their last 18 major tournaments, Germany extended their record of winning each of their last six penalty shoot-outs in the Euro and World Cup finals since 1976. That was despite missing more penalties in this shoot-out than they had in the whole of the last 40 years. In their final game under coach Antonio Conte as he departed to Chelsea, despite their impressive showing, this was the seventh time that Italy had lost a penalty shoot-out at a major tournament; now more than any other country.
