    Mesut Ozil

    Second Germany miss in a row. The goal scorer hits the post.

    Andrea Barzagli

    The centre-back smashes home down the centre.

    Thomas Muller

    Awful penalty. Pretty central and low and Buffon saves.

    Simone Zaza

    Zaza came on in the last second. And he blazes it after a ridiculous run-up that looked like a jig.

    Toni Kroos

    Buffon guesses right but Kroos' kick is just beyond him.

    Buffon. Neuer. Two absolute giants of the international goalkeeping union. 

    Which way is this going to go?

    We're shooting down the Italy end, and a huge cry goes up from the fans down there as they realise what's going on.

    Germany 1-1 Italy

    Gianluca Vialli: "My advice is make your mind up early and don't change it."

    Alan Shearer: "Strong minds are needed. Do exactly what you've prepared on the training ground. Don't get involved in mind games with the keeper."

    Thierry Henry: "You can't recreate the pressure in training."

    Germany have not missed a single penalty in a shootout for nearly 40 years! They are machines at this.

    This is it. Germany's players are all in a huddle, Joachim Low delivering the rallying cry in the middle. Big shouts. Big applause. A time for big hearts. 

    Italy hold court a little longer, their circle a little tighter, their roar just as loud.

    Julian Draxler went close to giving Germany that vital extra-time goal, and if you missed it you can watch again here.

    Germany 1-1 Italy

    The slightest hope of Insigne getting onto a through ball but it's overhit, into Neuer's arms. His throw out is poor though. Italy throw-in. 

    Conte makes his switch for penalties. Chiellini is off and Simone Zaza on, just to take a spot-kick.

    Wasted. Germany back with it and they work a chance for Ozil, for a moment the German eyes light up as he hits it left-footed from outside the box... straight at Buffon.

    Germany have scored 21 penalties in a row in shootouts. That looks where we're headed.

    Kroos and Ozil looking for the gap. Every blue shirt back. Ozil finds Mulller, who tries to flick it up and there's a penalty appeal for handball, a weak one, and Italy can break...

    Germany 1-1 Italy

    It's a very good ball in, headed out by Parolo. Germany back with it, and a ball into the mixer from deep is claimed by Buffon. 

    THREE minutes to go until pens...

    This is even softer - Thomas Muller buys a cut-price free-kick off Chiellini, real bargain basement stuff as he checks his run to coincide with the Italy defender's challenge and goes down very easily indeed. 

    Decent position, out wide. Can Kroos or Ozil deliver?
