Germans advance to final of Euro 08

The Germans overwhelmed Turkey, who had beat Croatia in the quarter-finals, 3-2 in the semi-finals of the Euro 08. The Turkish, who had comebacks in the three previous matches, did have a late surge in the match but the Germans had a surge in the last few minutes too. Turkey had nine chances on target compared to Germany's one in the first half but they only managed to convert only one of them while the Germans manged to score with their only chance. In the second half, Germany's Mikrov Klose scored to help his team take a lead in the game for the first time in the game. The Turkish then had an equaliser not long after but they had all their good work undone at the last minute when Germany's Philipp Lahm scored a last -grasp winner to win the game for the Germans.
