Italy beats Germany in dramatic fashion!

A very close match where Italy played a better first half, and Germany a better second half, but no one could find a goal.

The Azzurri came close in the opening minutes of extra time with a goal post and a crossbar making it seem like its not their night, but Germany could not deliver. Podolski had an excellent chance, but Buffon made the save.

The Italian time came to shine, when Fabio Grosso put one in the German net and gave Italy the lead. Germany desperately tried to tie and Italy put a second one in the goal, when Alessandro Del Piero scored.

The Italians now look to see who will win between France and Portugal.
