00:00is a change to the team that started against georgia on sunday unai simon plays behind the
00:04back four featuring two french born center halves lenomon and laporte this midfield area is where
00:10the game could be won and lost this evening roger he was player of the match against georgia in
00:15attack alvaro morata still looking for his first goal of the competition number five defender
00:20daniel vivian on the bench celebrates his birthday today the team that started their win over denmark
00:27manuel neuer becomes his country's most capped player at major tournaments jonathan tower returns
00:32from suspension the surprise inclusion is m ray chad preferred to robert andridge leroy zane keeps
00:39his place and kai havertz has already scored two penalties here at euro 2024 amongst the substitutes
00:47nicholas fulcroke who's already twice been sprung from a bench just when he goes behind him he passes
00:53him on but if he's in the spanish half he's virtually marking him so becoming an extra
00:58midfielder to try and deal with the influence that rodry exerts on a game here's williams
01:02little pocket of space and it's a shot off his right foot that didn't have the power of the accuracy
01:10well he has two teammates to his left
01:23it will be lamine oh it's so close really advanced positions on a
01:29ton of occasions the left back this quarterfinal is end-to-end at the moment fabian ruiz
01:36always rising two goals already at euro 2024 he scored against croatia the group stage he
01:44scored against georgia in the last 16 battle to control the center of midfield is absolutely
01:50intriguing here kibitz
01:56havertz first big test for una simĂłn well there's not a lot of pace on the cross
02:05but havertz has done well to get in space in between lots of spanish defenders
02:09gets up so well just heads it right at the goalkeeper he's trying to generate again the
02:16champ
02:21havertz for kibitz was the target the flag is raised germany were offside
02:29you know i mentioned earlier in the half nico williams up against kibitz
02:32is he willing to go back and defend against him because kukure can't go out there he's
02:35gone too early kibitz but that is a worry how easy it was for
02:38me havertz always judged it really well simĂłn kukure
02:47germany with a point to prove especially after exiting the last two major tournaments of the
02:52group stage this is williams biggest moment for manuel norris so far the flag does rise
03:01but noria wasn't to know and he had to make the save yes a surprise kibitz such an experienced
03:06defender gets caught ball watching it i'm not sure he is offside as that ball is played
03:10it's too easy though for williams to get in behind kibitz needs to go across to noria's
03:14left if you're going to score from there but that ball inside the fullback badly caught him out
03:22manuel noria today become troops
03:25williams right up against the chalk of the touchline
03:29kibitz kept his eye on the ball big cheer from the german fans for that one-on-one victory by
03:35kibitz but now germany have given it away danielmo it's only been parried murata
03:43just wouldn't sit upright for him and germany sigh a collective sigh of relief
03:50well it's not great play initially by habit so it gives the ball away so cheaply here
03:53kukureya just bumps into him he's looking for the foul it certainly wasn't one but noria
03:59there's a bit of a surprise when the shot comes in murata looks in an offside position so he put
04:06fabian ruiz it's a wonderful pirouette as he recedes and just couldn't take a
04:14it's a wonderful pirouette as he recedes and just couldn't take a stout like that
04:19here's danielmo we're still waiting for a standout moment in the game nico williams
04:26yamal they don't give him space in the box murata well he was leaning back he feels he
04:33was being pulled back that is a glorious chance for spain well there was contact there but even
04:40with the contact with the defender trying to be strong with the rat so you have to keep
04:44the shot down so clever from yamal again playing that ball on the floor to murata yes he's under
04:49pressure from tart is there an obvious foul in there i don't think there is there is a little
04:53bit of contact but he's rolled the center half got to keep it down spain getting the ball into
04:59the penalty area which has been this time back when spain really were the kings of international
05:07football winning three major tournaments in a row yamal the next generation that's it
05:17spain's strike early in the second half
05:25it's the first time spain have ever scored a goal against a host nation
05:31at a european championship final and it's the first big plot twist in this quarterfinal
05:40well it's a beautifully constructed goal it's labored defensing from from germany but
05:45lamine yamal 16 years old the maturity he shows here is off the charts it really is the ball is
05:52played his way there is no panic and he does the right thing rather than take on his man and try
05:58and beat him take all the glory he knows he's got almo arriving from a deep midfield position
06:03the weight of the pass the angle of the pass is so considered it's perfect for almo just to
06:09pass into the back of the net but yamal again that is just outstanding understanding of attacking
06:15football for someone so young absolutely incredible and there's just no panic from
06:19almo just whips that ball away from noia who's never going to get to it it's a stunningly
06:24constructed goal it feels a big turning point in events the gloves will have to come off now
06:37spain drawn first blood perfect time keeping from daniel what a start to the second half for spain
06:47it's no surprise that almo has come up with the goal because since he came on as a substitute
06:50early on for pedry he's a lot more andrews to the earth to flex it on the way through
06:58it's going to be a quarter to be such an arm wrestle
07:02not to be tenor attempting to lay down the law in that congested penalty area
07:09full croak he was rising and the ball was
07:13rudiger full croak you get natural right rudiment it was a signal signal that this
07:27side was developing nicely here's the air it's full croak goes down he's in the post
07:34how close is that to a german equalizer
07:37population of spain is 47 million people and they have all just given an audible gasp
07:48such a clever forward pass to get vietz in behind kukurea i think nacho does he do just
07:53about enough maybe it's just unbalanced full croak i think if he can keep his footing he
07:58scores but he's off balance that means he just swipes at the ball that means he hits the post
08:02and not the back of the neck these are the tiny tiny margins
08:09between success and failure when you've two heavyweights like this
08:13season being real madrid here is full croak now musiala looking for space and a little celebration
08:22two
08:29simon havertz keeper is up his line agonizingly too high for kai havertz and unites simon
08:40is a very lucky senior well he makes a hash of the clears but i just wonder kai havertz does he see vietz
08:46to his to his right that's the choice that he has if you try and kick the goalkeeper
08:53and understand why he's gone free he's not that far off but vietz is in acres of space
08:58if he just clips that ball across the box vietz has a tapping if he could do it all again
09:08further delay to build the tension further
09:17so
09:23referee had blown the whistle there was a push it wouldn't have counted anyway i think it's a
09:28really good defensive position here it's a dangerous ball in havertz is on the move but
09:32yes laporte he's done well he's stayed goal side of his man there's hands in his back
09:37it'll be very easy for laporte just to let havertz get the run but he doesn't
09:41there's the hands in his back there's the push good spot from the uh the referee anthony taylor
09:46so many white shirts to aim for
09:59jimmy to the back post
10:13oh
10:34we have to give germany a huge amount of credit
10:36this is going behind they've just pushed and pushed and they haven't really created too much
10:41but again if you get the ball into the box and you pile bodies in there you're going to get
10:46opportunities vietz initially keeps the ball alive he does well but mittelstadt is a decent delivery
10:51everybody's on side but the way that ball is kept alive at the far post is all important
10:58it's kimmich the leap the knob back across the box is outstanding he just smashes it towards
11:04that far post vietz gets a bit of luck with it canning in off the upright but if kimmich doesn't
11:10keep that ball alive there's no goal but they just kept pushing and pushing germany and we
11:14shouldn't be surprised they've got back in it he scored the opening goal of this tournament
11:20against scotland to become germany's youngest ever gold scorer in a european championship
11:27but florian vierz is going to go down in history here for that moment spain
11:34vietz what an impact he's made since coming on luciana lovely change of pace simo can't hold it
11:41still not away kukurea andres he needed a more cultured touch
11:52that's a brilliant run off the ball from musiala and vietz is having such an effect on this game
11:57the way of that pass but the way he just delays musiala to get past fabian ruiz is absolutely
12:02fabian ruiz is absolutely brilliant but he just can't keep the ball away from the goalkeeper
12:06he's running out of pitch it's difficult when you're moving at high speed as well
12:11then i see moments a bit of a mess of that he's looking to escape
12:15spain when they were defending their lead took off their two young
12:19quicker snapper wingers yamal williams
12:22he was looking for a bend at the end of that
12:35and he just wouldn't curve well he had no you're worried but he i think he does just
12:39hit it too straight i see the technique as he strikes it he just doesn't draw that ball enough
12:46from from left to right lawyer is on the move he is worried that's going to nestle in the
12:51side netting not that far away really just before this tournament the kelly at the belt scored in
12:58book there's barely been a hesitation in extra time just the one solitary
13:03minute to be added on germany looked to make it count beards again
13:08how costly made that prove to be well the spanish defense caught out ball watching it
13:22all looking at the ball no one is he's looking at thomas muller see the idea is right just whip
13:29that ball into the bottom corner just too much movement on it from left to right takes it past
13:33the post and not inside it florian vietz is in a fantastic season 18 goals 19 assists for
13:41leverkusen he was luciano though gliding
13:48muller fulcrum comes off his shoulder luciano they appeal for a hand the on-field decision is no
13:57penalty stewart atwell is the video assistant referee he will be looking at the replace here
14:05amidst some intense appeals from germany i think that as the ball is struck it seems to me as if
14:12kukaria's arm is moving back towards his body he's actually moving it from a tight position
14:17now wide he's actually gone from wide
14:23played in by ferentorix back by laporte
14:27luciano's control is firm and solid and now it's one-on-one the earth's against
14:35danny carvajal kukaria gets back to provide support fulcrum is this his moment
14:42sliced off the outside of his boots well i think vietz is always looking to play the ball back to
14:48musiala brilliant initially for musiala to get vince on the move i do think that carvajal does
14:54a really good job in actually cutting off that that supply that pass out to musiala so then that
14:58means they've got to come back to full crug who's always off balance when he strikes it this is
15:02never going to hit the target it's loving up germany going forward tony cruises down he wanted
15:08play to be held up spain march on but not for the margin between success and failure seems
15:17paper thin at the moment
15:21fulcrum goes down simon had to react
15:25panic again in the spanish penalty area as the ball is whipped in there's plenty of pace on it
15:30again from kimmich great delivery good movement from the striker maybe just a slight so it's the
15:35bounce of the ball could have made it difficult but it there's not a lot of pace on it and the
15:38bounce is good for the goalkeeper it's a good height for him once again i think that is a
15:43save that's the united simons should make to happen
15:58oh yeah it's about
16:05and then torres finds no way past mittelstadt here is cucaracha does he fancy it
16:25in the 120th minute
16:28put spain into the semi-final
16:41germany are crushed and it's absolutely no surprise that the supply line is danny almo
16:50very similar to his goal actually an attacking midfielder breaking into the box
16:54rudiger's watching the ball not the onrushing midfielder but the way the angle of the ball
16:59infant danny almo is sublime the finish is so composed could have panicked could have tried
17:04to maybe take it down but marino got it absolutely spot on but the ball in from danny almo is simply
17:10outstanding at this stage of the game and players are tiring that delivery over rudiger's head is
17:16just brilliant he scored a goal he's created one you know rudiger needs to drop he needs to realize
17:22where marino is and and deal with him he doesn't he's caught watching the ball but it's such a
17:27brilliant finish gets up early just redirects it paces on the ball heads it in the corner but
17:33almo what a delivery marino what a finish it's only his second ever international call
17:42if you gave michael marino a thousand chances to do that again he wouldn't have wanted to connect
17:49any sweeter the bell is ringing for tony crowe's head for germany
17:57surely there is no coming back from this three minutes have been added on for stoppages
18:07spanish delight in stuttgart as they regain the lead again
18:13it looks like attacking midfielders have won the day for spain almo and marino
18:23hopes he's provided it hail mary time now for germany
18:26luciano can't control kimmich blocked by laporte
18:34any will will do for all you have to bow spain can't celebrate just yet keep that champagne on
18:42ferran torres germany thin at the back this could seal it no
18:53germany need a miracle cross thomas muller this is it
19:04spain survive well that's the opportunity he wanted good crosses in space
19:11and just can't hit the target with him that's what he's in the team to do get on the end of
19:16decent crosses took them home oh so so close just can't nudge it inside that left-hand post what's
19:24an opportunity for an equalizer nicholas volkrog who had that late goal disallowed
19:31in the champions league final against real madrid not so long ago denied late glory once again
19:41mittelstadt germany on borrowed time luciano
19:47dragged to the ground by carvajal who's already on a yellow card he's gonna go
19:54danny carvajal sees red
20:02he was already going to miss the semi-final perhaps that was a calculation in his head
20:07with this incredibly deliberate foul yeah once luciano takes that ball past him he's dead in the
20:13water i think it's just instinctive they might well regret that later on but spain get
