GERMANY 1-1 ITALY(6-5 penalties)
SUMMARY: AN extraordinary finish to what was an intense and often attritional match. Mesut Ozil gave Germany the lead after the break, only for a Jerome Boateng handball to present Leonardo Bonucci with the chance to level from the spot after 78 minutes.
Germany had a great chance to win it in extra time when Julian Draxler got what looked like an easy pass to free Thomas Muller all wrong, and then came a penalty shootout packed with drama, saves and misses.
But Jonas Hector smashed the decisive kick in off Gianluigi Buffon, and that means it's Germany versus France or Iceland in the semifinals after a dramatic night. It's a first major tournament victory for Germany over Italy, too.
