Germany Outlast England in Euro U21 Semi-Final, Win on Penalties

Germany needed penalties to get past England during Tuesday's 2017 Under-21 European Championship semi-final, winning 4-3 on spot-kicks after the match had finished 2-2.

Davie Selke and Demarai Gray both scored during an entertaining first half that saw both teams dominate at times.

Tammy Abraham gave the Three Lions the lead early in the second half, but Felix Platte nodded home from close range, setting up a tense finale.

Penalties were needed after neither team managed to score in the dying minutes and extra time, and Jordan Pickford gave England the advantage by denying Yannick Gerhardt.
