Germany secured a dramatic 3-2 extra-time victory over Italy in the UEFA European U-21 Championship quarter-final, with Merlin Röhl scoring the decisive goal after Giuseppe Ambrosino's late free-kick forced extra time. The match saw Italy reduced to nine men following two red cards, while Germany capitalized on their numerical advantage to progress. Luca Koleosho put Italy ahead before Nick Woltemade equalized and Nelson Weiper appeared to score a winning goal for Germany late in regulation. Germany will face France in the semi-finals on June 25, while England will play the Netherlands in the other semi-final.
