Mikel Merino's Last-Minute Goal Sends Spain to Euro 2024 Semifinals with 2-1 Win Over Germany

Posted : 05 July 2024

A last-minute goal by Mikel Merino in extra time secured Spain a 2-1 victory over Germany, propelling them into the Euro 2024 semifinals.

 

Following a goalless and intense first half, Spain took the lead in the 51st minute when Dani Olmo converted a precise pass from rising star Lamine Yamal. Germany, facing elimination, equalized in the 89th minute through Florian Wirtz, who capitalized on a Joshua Kimmich assist to send the match into extra time.

 

As the match seemed destined for penalties, Olmo delivered a cross that Merino headed into the net, ensuring Spain's progress and maintaining their pursuit of a record fourth Euros title. Germany's defeat ended their hopes of a home-turf triumph and marked the end of Toni Kroos' illustrious career.

 

The match, anticipated as an early final, saw Germany struggling with Spain's pace, despite having the best first-half opportunities. Tactical changes by both managers in the second half and extra time shaped a thrilling encounter that ultimately highlighted Spain's resilience and strategic prowess.
