Match overview
Denmark’s vibrant early play earned a quick lead through Lerby, yet Spain’s resilience told when Maceda levelled with another towering header. After extra-time could not separate the sides, Arconada saved Elkjær’s decisive kick and Sarabia converted to clinch a dramatic 5-4 shoot-out victory and Spain’s place in the Paris final.
Trivia
Klaus Berggreen became the first player shown red in a European Championship semi-final. Spain’s perfect penalty sequence was the tournament’s first shoot-out success by a team that had trailed earlier in the match.
