Carvajal picks his second yellow for his foul on Musiala and leaves the pitch.

Fullkrug’s header off a cross from Muller goes wide by a fine margin. It was so close! 

Olmo sent a perfect cross from the edge of the box towards Merino, who rose high up in the air and headed it into the back of the net. Heartbreak for the thousands of German fans in Stuttgart.

3 - Mikel Merino scored the third-latest winning goal in EURO history after 118 minutes and 52 seconds, behind Michel Platini in 1984 against Portugal (118:53) and Artem Dovbyk against Sweden in the 2020 edition (120:36). Semifinals. #GERESP pic.twitter.com/WcH4vaS76T

Nacho collides with Wirtz and seems to have hurt his lower back.

Undav, on the Germany bench, has been booked.

Rodri is booked for his challenge on Muller.

Musiala’s shot hits Cucurella’s arm inside the box and Germany appeals for a penalty. The referee says no penalty as his arm was close to the body.

The second half of extra time begins in Stuttgart. It's all to play for in the last 15 minutes.

The first half of extra time is over and it's still 1-1 in Stuttgart.

Oyarzabal’s left-footed shot nestles past the far post. What a shot from the substitute!

Wirtz finds Musiala on the left and the latter cuts into the box before testing Unai Simon with a shot.

Spain make their final change, as midfielder Fabian Ruiz who is injured is subbed off. Joselu comes on to replace him.

Carvajal is booked for a foul on Musiala. If Spain go through, he will miss the game.

Wirtz squares the ball for his forward in front of the goal but Nacho clears it.

Wirtz finds the equaliser for Germany and the fans find their voice in Stuttgart. Kimmich headed the ball into the path of Wirtz, who rolled the ball into the corner. What a moment for the 21-year-old who had a sensational season with Leverkusen, and is now scoring goals in the quarter-final of the Euros.

Kroos plays the ball into the box and Havertz tries a header but Unai Simon pushes it away.

Unai Simon makes a mistake in his distribution, kicking the ball straight to Havertz inside the box.

The German forward tries to lob the keeper. The ball flows over the bar. It was a very close shot from the Arsenal forward.

The Spanish shot-stopper sees the yellow card for time-wasting.

Muller is introduced and he replaces Tah.

Morata and Williams are subbed off. Oyarzabal and Merino are in for Spain. Morata gives the captain armband to Rodri before coming off the pitch.

Fullkrug tries to strike the ball into the bottom corner following a perfect cross from Wirtz but loses his balance, as the ball hits the post. That was so close for the hosts to find the equalizer.

Gundogan and Raum are subbed off. Fullkrug and Mittelstadt are on for Germany.

Yamal shows maturity as he squares the ball for Dani Olmo at the perfect time. Olmo just places the ball perfectly with his first touch and Neuer couldn't reach to the ball. Spain takes the lead early in the second half. 

Lamine Yamal provides the pass to Morata who holds the ball and takes a shot which flies over the bar. Morata was claiming that he was being pulled from the back by Tah but the replay shows Tah had nothing to do with Morata's poor shot.

Referee Anthony Taylor blows the whistle and it ends 0-0 at halftime between the two European heavyweights. Both teams had almost equal share of the possession. Spain created more danger with seven attempts at goal while Germany would consider themselves lucky that Kroos didn't see a red card after a poor tackle on Pedri so early on in the game.

Yamal tries his luck from 25 yards out. The ball takes one bounce and then lands in the hands of Neuer at the goal.

Williams finds some space to run down the left but his cross flies over everyone’s head in the box.

Dani Olmo runs towards the box and unleashes a powerful shot from almost 25 yards out. Neuer dives to his left to stop the ball and succeeds.

Williams runs into the Germany box and beats the Kimmich-Rudiger duo. The youngster then takes a shot but Manuel Neuer saves it. However, the offside flag goes up against Williams.

Kai Havertz receives a long pass inside the box and tries to test the Spanish shot-stopper once again. Unai Simon makes no mistake in stopping the ball from going in. That was a huge opportunity for Germany to take the lead.

This seems like a boxing match. Yamal tries to start a counter-attack for Spain but Emre Can brings him down. The Spanish players were demanding a yellow card but Anthony Taylor is not convinced.

The Spanish defender will miss the semi-final if Spain manages to beat Germany today. He sees the yellow after a pointless foul on Gundogan.

Two of Germany's back four players are now booked. Dani Carvajal is down after Raum's nasty tackle and Anthony Taylor reaches his pocket right away.

A silly challenge from Morata gifts a free kick to Germany.

Kroos sends the ball into the box at the far post but Tah’s header hits the ground first and then Simon collects it.

Havertz rises highest to head a cross from the right by Kimmich but Unai Simon collects it comfortably.

Raum covers a lot of ground on the left wing and tries to whip a ball back into the box, but it’s blocked.

On the other end, Fabian Ruiz shoots over the bar from outside the box after getting the ball from Yamal.

Dani Olmo is down and Rudiger is booked. If Germany goes through, Rudiger will miss the semi-final. Yamal won the ball in the midfield and then started an attack. The ball reached to Olmo who won a set-piece in a brilliant position.

Spain have a huge opportunity from a good position.

The replay clearly shows how much serious and poor that tackle was from Kroos. He was lucky to not receive a card.

🙏🏼 Que no sea nada, @Pedri.

Pedri cannot continue after that horrific tackle from Kroos. Dani Olmo replaces him and it's only eight minutes into the clock.

A bad tackle from Kroos on Pedri. The Barcelona star tries to dribble with the ball but Toni Kroos brings him down with a slight touch on the ball. It was indeed a poor tackle but referee Anthony Taylor decided to not show the yellow card to the German sniper.

Alvaro Morata controls a ball inside the box from the left and lays it off to Pedri, who shoots with his left foot but it goes straight at Manuel Neuer.

1 minute added to the full time.

Costa came running to recieve a lobbed ball from Merino. It could have been threatening if he had not been cautious. 

Isco, Pino, and others are trying hard to get into the final touch, but Dias and Mendes have done well for Portugal

Mendes does well to stop Pino from going for a clear header. 

Good cross from the left as well by Isco.

Are we having a goal, or are penalties coming?

Yamal's powerful shot went staright to Diogo Costa.

Portugal were close to getting the lead, but Baena stood at his position to clear the chance out.

Leao has been ripping the Spain defence since coming in. 

But, Pedro Porro came to rescue again as Portugal earned another corner. 

VAR check confirmed that there was no penalty in that. Top class referring. 

Nuno Mendes went down inside the box, but the penalty appeal was denied.

After that, Portugal and Spain players went for a brawl. 

Yellow card for Bruno for dissent. Mendes and Baena also were booked.

Yamal and Isco played in between them before Isco sent a cross for a header. 

But Veiga's partial clearance allowed Cucurella a great sight and aim at the goal.

But he missed the target completely. 

In: Pedro Porro, Baena

Out: Mingueza, Nico

What a chance for Portugal! 

Mendes's cross found Semedo, who just missed the target from center of the box. 

Portugal won the ball back with intense pressing.

After nearly 20 passes, Nico looked to make a cutback and then go for the shot with his right foot. 

He missed the target by a meter.

Ronaldo, not for the first time, is dispossessed again. Portugal missed a few chances after Ronaldo lost the ball. 

But, we all know, in just one moment, he can turn things around.

Oyarzabal scores for Spain. 

Spain broke through the Portugal's defence from their own half. 

Pedri's run, and the pass was sublime, just like the finish from Oyarzabal, who defeated Costa to hit the back of the net.

Yellow card for Inácio for an elbow on Oyarzabal.

Yamal's cross pass found Nico on the left. Nico made a quick cut back before going for the goal with a curling right-footed shot.

Hue miss. 

Pedri left it for the 17-year-old to go for the goal with the free-kick. His kick went over the goal. 

As I was saying, Yamal runs through Silva and Mendes, Silva stopped him, he won the ball again and won a free-kick from the edge of the box as Bruno fouled him.

Both teams are waiting for the mistake from other team. 

Mendes tried to stitch an attack for Portugal, while Nico and Fermin looked to build up for Spain. 

No sign of Yamal magic yet.

From a short corner, Neves from the center of the box had the chance to go for a volley. He had power but the not the direction he was looking for. 

Ronaldo found Neto on the left. Neto's pace allowed Portugal to go for an attack ,and his attempted cross was deflected for a corner.

Yellow card for Gavi.

Yellow card for Kolo Muani.

We are not done yet! 

Cherki's cross and Kolo Muani's header went straight inside the goal.

ESP 5-4 FRA

Gusto's cross fell rightly for Barcola to go for the header. But, he could not be on target.

Can we have more goals?

In: Gavi

Out: Merino

Barcola's speed on the left gave France a great chance. 

His cutback found Kolo Muani at the edge of the box. But his shot went over the goal. 

Samu got the chance to beat him with a cross-footed shot. But Maignan's defection took the ball away. 

Okay, are we going to watch a classic comeback? 

Vivian could not control the cross from Gusto, and his toe touch went straight into the goal.

5 minutes to go, more goal?

Spain 5-3 France

Hernandez grabbed Lamine and stopped him from going for the counterattack. 

Yellow card for him. 

whhhhhhaaatttt! 

What a goal and on his debut! 

Mbappe found Cherki at the edge of the box, and after the first touch, he went for a left-footed bullet volley to beat Simon. 

ESP 5-2 FRA

France: In - Kolo Muani, Out - Dembele 

Spain: In - Vivian, Samu, Out - Le Normand, Oyarzabal

Spain are looking complacent here. 

Mbappe, while falling on the ground, was very close to beating Simon. 

But Simon kept his eyes on the ball to make the save.

Dembele hits the post as the ball kept going close the byline and the PSG star could not find the angle to find the back of the net. 

In: Lucas Hernandez

Out: Lenglet

Five star for Spain.

A goal that had written Ballon d'Or all over it, the commentators said. 

With the front of the foot, he was able to beat Maignan on the right side. 

Spain 5-1 France. 

Spain: In - Olmo, Ruiz, Out - Nico, Pedri

France: In - Gusto, Cherki, Barcola, Out - Kalulu, Olise, Doue

Dembele, with a threading pass, found Doue on the left. 

After watching his space, Doue tried to curl one back in. But the effort did not come in enough to hit the back of the net. 

Inevitable. Mbappe scores from the spot. 

He is just one goal away from touching Henry's record.

Spain 4-1 France. 

Pedro Porro semmed to have dragged Mbapped inside the box  and it is a penalty for France.

Spain are cooking here. 

Pedri gets into the act this time. 

Pedri won the ball and controlled it before finding Nico on the left. 

Nico found Pedri making a run inside the box. 

With a fine touch and control, he found the back of the net. 

ESP 4-0 FRA.

Cool, calm and stylish. 

He took his time and was not bothered by all the distractions from Maignan. 

He hits the low, left corner and Spain lead by 3-0. 

ESP 3-0 FRA. 

Penalty given. The VAR stands with the referee's decision. 

Rabiot fouls Lamine Yamal inside the box. He gets the yellow card and it is a penalty for Spain. 

Good start for France.

Theo Hernandez's cross from the left of the box was nearly met by Demeble. Another chance gone begging for them. 

Top class along the ground, cross from the right. Kalulu's cross from the right could not meet Dembele at the centre of the box. 

Yamal found Oyarzabal at the edge of the box. Konate blocked latter's shot. 

No changes from either. 

Two great goals and the defending champions are happily going to the break with a 2-0 lead.

2 minutes added to the first half. 

Mbappe with a left footed shot. Since it was at the center of the goal, it was an easy save for Simon. 

Huijsen scores but looks to be offside. 

France are trying to play shorter passes to enter the box. A lovely one-two between Mbappe and Olise found Dembele making a run inside the box.

Though Simon came running to make the save, the PSG star was already offside. 

Nico Williams delivers.

Simon does well to go low and down to his right to save Dembele's on target shot from the right. 

France are struggling here with the defence. 

Pedri's delivery had created a chance for Nico to go for the goal. But, Lenglet was there to make the block. 

Yellow card for Lamine for a foul on Doue.

Doue and Mbappe's timid efforts at the goal were saved by Simon as France looked to make a comeback in the match. Let me remind you, no second leg in the semis. The winner will face Portugal in the final on June 8th.

🚨 NICO WILLIAMS SCORES FOR SPAIN VS FRANCE WHAT A PLAYER 🤯🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/A499zvJpAY

— Goals ⚽ (@Goals360hub) June 5, 2025

Merino's goes around the corner and Spain lead by 2-0. 

Oyarzabal is again the provider but this time with a very different type of assist, completing a one-two with Merino as part of a slick spell of Spain passing with a delightful chipped ball inside the box on the right.

Merino did the rest by storming inside the box and beating Maignan in the near post. 

Nico Williams does the job for Spain. 

On the left again, but unlike the last two times, he was able to smash the back of the net. 

Yamal found Oyarzabal, and the experienced striker played a cute pass at the edge of the box for Nico to go for the goal. 

Despite space being there and having Mbappe waiting over the shoulder, Rabiot went for the shot. 

It went over the goal. 

It is Nico Williams who made another run on the left for Spain. But his final shot was saved by Maignan. A bit awkward, but it was a good save. 

Theo passed the ball to Doue on the left. Doue, full of confidence, after a record-breaking Champions League final, he made a cutback and went for a shot with his right foot. 

In the end, it was an easy save for Simon

Theo Hernandez, though he was not in full control while making the effort with his left foot, hit the crossbar. Simon would have been a spectator if that had gone in.  

Nico Williams, on the left-hand side, made a good run. But his final effort went straight to Maignan. 

Demeble ran away with the ball and found Mbappe. But, unselfish Mbappe tried to find Rabiot and lost the plot.

Theo Hernandez took his chance to surprise Simon with a long-range shot. The shot went over the goal. 

As usual, Lamine Yamal looked to break through the right and then with a backheel found Pedro Porro, whose effort went straight to Maignan. 

France start things off!
