Germany booked their place in the final of the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship on Thursday by beating Romania 4-2 in a thriller at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara in Bologna, Italy.
A fast-paced first half saw Germany take the lead after 21 minutes through Nadiem Amiri. The Hoffenheim midfielder broke forward and rifled a low strike past goalkeeper Andrei Radu.
Their lead lasted only five minutes, with Romania hitting back after being awarded a penalty for a foul by Timo Baumgartl on Ianis Hagi. George Puscas managed to squeeze his spot-kick past Alexander Nubel for the equaliser.
