Dani Carvajal shows 100% IQ as he gets sent off for a tactical foul on Musiala

Spain clinched a dramatic victory over Germany with a 119th-minute goal to advance to the semi-finals of Euro 2024.

Dani Olmo initially gave Spain the lead early in the second half, but Germany equalised in the 89th minute with a goal from Bayer Leverkusen attacker Florian Wirtz.

Wirtz, known for his clutch performances, once again delivered for his team, making it 1-1.

The match saw intense attacks from both sides, but neither could break the deadlock until the final moments.

Until the 119th minute, when Mikel Merino pounced on a cross from Olmo, heading it past the German keeper to secure the win for Spain.

With just a few minutes left to play, Germany pushed everyone forward in a desperate attempt to find another equaliser.

During one of these attacks, Jamal Musiala, who had been outstanding throughout the game, was brought down by Dani Carvajal in a tactical foul.

Carvajal received a second yellow card and was sent off, but his strategic decision prevented a potential goal and was seen as a genius move, considering he would have missed the next game due to suspension anyway.

Spain now advance to the semi-finals, while Germany exits the tournament in a heart-breaking fashion.
