Spain Reach Semi-Finals After Last-Gasp Goal against Germany
Merino Scores in 119th Minute to Seal Victory
Germany Face Heartbreak as Spain Advance
Germany's hopes of Euro 2024 glory were dashed in heartbreaking fashion as Mikel Merino scored a dramatic last-minute winner for Spain, sending them into the semi-finals with a 2-1 victory in Stuttgart on Wednesday.
The match had been a tense and evenly contested affair, with both teams having chances to win it. However, it was Spain who struck first in the 119th minute when Merino pounced on a loose ball in the German penalty area and fired home.
The goal sparked wild celebrations from the Spanish players and fans, while the German players were left devastated. The defeat marks a disappointing end to Germany's Euro 2024 campaign, while Spain will now face either Portugal or the Netherlands in the semi-finals.
The victory was a sweet one for Spain, who had been under pressure to perform after their disappointing performance at the World Cup last year.
