Semi-finals
With Argentina and Brazil eliminated in the quarter-finals, an all-European semi-final line up was completed for only the fourth time after the 1934, 1966 and 1982 tournaments.
The semifinal between Germany and Italy produced an entertaining extra time period that went scoreless until the 118th minute, when Italy scored twice through Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Del Piero, putting an end to Germany's undefeated record in Dortmund, and continued their dominance over Die Nationalelf.
In the second semifinal, Portugal lost to France 1–0 in Munich. The Portuguese faced a hostile crowd of English and French fans; as Cristiano Ronaldo was accused of exhibiting unsporting behaviour. In a repeat of the semi-finals of Euro 2000, Portugal were narrowly defeated by France, with the decisive goal being a penalty scored by France captain Zinedine Zidane.
