Both teams are now to be even more switched. The play might be a bit on the slower side but one mistake is what either side is waiting for. This applies especially to goal-keepers who have stopped some of very sharp chances under pressure especially in the first half.

Spain has started well here in the Extra Time. They are pressing high and testing the defenses of Germany. The hosts seems to be tired after all the energy burst and relief they had when Wirtz has scored. However, Germany would be hoping for one opening to get through.

We had an interesting substitute here from Spain as Ruiz was unable to continue any more striker Josephulu has been called upon as a replacement. Once again not a lot to separate both sides even in this Extra Time it is looking very likely we might go to extra time.

Well, well Moreno scores here in the final moments of the game and that should be it. What a finish from Moreno and what a ball from Olmo outside the box. It is going to be a header that he will remember for the rest of his life. Spanish fans are delighted in the stadium.

That's the game it is Spain who qualifies for the semifinals and remains unbeaten in the tournament.
