GER 0-0 ITA (regular time),

GER 0-2 ITA (extra time) –

Italy's two goals were scored just about in succession, both in the closing minutes of the extra-time. The last goal was in fact the very last event in that match–a match which, up to its 118th minute, had seriously looked as if doomed to be settled by another World Cup penalty shoot-out.
