Spain 2-1 Germany — AET

(Olmo 51, Merino 119, Carvajal sent off 120+4; Wirtz 89)

The first half of Spain’s quarter-final against Germany was like a chess match. Neither side wanted to make a mistake and Luis de la Fuente’s men were limited to shots from distance.

But it was one of those efforts within six minutes of the restart that gave Spain the lead, as Olmo finished supremely from Yamal’s inviting square pass.

After De la Fuente made a string of defensive changes, Germany hit them with a sucker punch through Florian Wirtz with less than two minutes left.

Those Spanish changes were being called into question as the game headed into extra time and looked destined for penalties.

But it was Mikel Merino to the rescue as he hung in the air for what felt like an eternity, to head into the top corner and send the hosts out of Euro 2024.
