Match overview
Zola’s early penalty was saved by Köpke and, even after Strunz’s dismissal, Germany’s rearguard refused to yield. Italy monopolised possession but lacked a cutting edge; when news of Russia’s late equaliser arrived from Liverpool, their stalemate condemned the Azzurri to elimination.
Trivia
Thomas Strunz became only the second German ever sent off at a European Championship. Italy’s exit marked the first time a World Cup runner-up had failed to reach the knockout phase of the subsequent Euros.
