Germany 1-1 England (6-5) | EURO 1996 Semi-Final Match | Highlights & Best Moments

The Euro 96 semi-final took place at Wembley Stadium on June 26 in front of 76,000 spectators.

Unfortunately for the hosts, this is where their tournament came to an end as England were knocked out via a penalty shootout.

The Three Lions took the lead after just three minutes through Alan Shearer's header.

But the Germans found an equaliser when Stefan Kuntz fired home at close range on 16 minutes.

England and Germany both scored their opening five strikes as the contest went to sudden death.

Current England manager Gareth Southgate was next to step up but saw his low effort agonisingly saved by Andreas Kopke.

That handed Germany the chance to book their place in the final of Euro 96 and Andreas Moller made no mistake as he smashed his spot-kick past David Seaman.

Intense. Always love the English-German rivalry matches. It has the flavour of 'confrontation' and pride at stake everytime.

best part is gascoine smashes the bottle cause he knew they score the next

Tense, yes, but a contest of skill and technique; not so much. Some horrific challenges by some English players; clearly they read the papers leading up to this game and really did think it was 'war'. Klinsmann, Germany's top scorer, ruled out of the game and on the bench. All advantages to England and the germans still win.
