Spain defeats Germany and advances to the Eurocup semi-finals.

Spain defeated Germany 2-1 in the quarterfinals of the European Championship, thanks to goals from Dani Olmo and Mikel Merino.

La Roja entered the field in Stuttgart with strength, and in the first minute, Nico and Morata generated an opportunity that ended with a shot by Pedri, stopped by Neuer.

Pedri had to leave the field in the eighth minute after a tough tackle by Kroos, being substituted by Dani Olmo. Lamine, Fabián, and Olmo also tried to defeat Neuer without success.

Germany improved as the minutes went by and had two dangerous shots from Havertz that approached Unai Simón's goal.

However, the Spaniards started the second half with the same intensity, and Dani Olmo opened the scoring with a cross shot after a good pass from Lamine.

Germany sought to equalize and began to attack the Spanish defense until they managed to tie the game in the 89th minute with a goal from Wirtz, after failing to score in several previous occasions.

In extra time, Mikel Merino scored with a header in the 119th minute, thanks to a cross from Olmo, securing the victory for Spain.

Carvajal was ejected on the last play for bringing down Musiala, and Le Normand received a yellow card, so both will not be available for the next match.

With this victory, Spain accumulates five wins in five matches.

This match against the German national team marks the retirement of Kroos, who is stepping down after a successful season with Real Madrid, in which he won the League and the Champions League.

Spain will face the winner of the match between Portugal and France in the semifinals, which will be played at 9:00 PM.
