Spain U19 created an unbelievable match. |
UEFA's website called the match between Spain U19 and Germany U19 "one of the most incredible matches" in the history of the tournament. Eleven goals were scored during the match, with eight goals scored after the 78th minute, and five goals scored in extra time.
In just six days, Germany U19s have had two matches with double-digit goals. They had previously drawn 5-5 with England in the group stage after leading 5-1. However, the semi-final against Spain was even more dramatic, with Germany losing 5-6 in extra time.
The star of the match was Pablo Garcia (Real Betis), who scored 4 goals for Spain, including two in second-half stoppage time and the decisive goal in the 118th minute of extra time. Meanwhile, Hoffenheim striker Max Moerstedt also scored a hat-trick for Germany, but his efforts were not enough to help the home team advance.
In the official 90 minutes, only 3 of the 11 goals were scored. Germany took the lead in the 28th minute, only for Spain to equalize in the 61st minute. Germany took the lead for a second time, 2-1, in the 78th minute, then Spain missed the chance to equalize when Antonio Cordero missed a penalty.
However, the real drama erupted in the second half's injury time. Garcia scored two goals in quick succession in the 90+1 and 90+5 minutes, putting Spain up 3-2 and seemingly on course for the final. However, disaster struck Spain in the 9th minute of injury time in the second half.
In the 90+9 minute, from a free kick by Germany, the ball flew over the head of the Spanish goalkeeper, and defender Andres Cuenca accidentally put the ball into his own net in an empty goal, equalizing 3-3 for Germany.
This result forced the match into extra time. In extra time, Spain regained the lead thanks to a goal from Tomas Marques, making it 4-3. However, Moerstedt continued to shine with two goals, helping Germany come back to lead 5-4.
When victory seemed to be in Germany's hands, Jan Virgili equalized 5-5 for Spain. In the 118th minute, Garcia completed his poker by dribbling past the goalkeeper and scoring the decisive goal, bringing a historic victory to Spain.
Spain U19 will face the Netherlands in the final match taking place in the early morning of June 27.
