A player's lack of golazo Chelsea after the break gave the victory to Germany (0-1), who will face Portugal in the quarter-finals. Austria failed to worry the goal of Lehmann.
The first big committed saves the situation, something that other, Italy, France or both, will have no opportunity to do. Germany did so with loyalty to itself, with determination and verticality, as if the fear was not with her, ready to settle as quickly as possible a situation that stems from the party, with the Prater made a boiler, could lead away from logic.
He had to wait, but was patient in control of a weak Austria, which Knockout with a shell of its own name: Ballack. Question of hierarchy. Not what was the Spanish referee Mejuto Gonzalez, who drove in unison to the two selectors. Order or not the Uefa, was excessive.
Austria had achieved a single goal in two matches, penalty, but Germany decided to nip in the bud the breeding ground that could giant. Vienna, inappetence with football, had broken his temple with a duel that has evoke the legend of Matthias Sindelar, who died in bizarre circumstances after refusing to play for the Third Reich after the 'Anschluss', Austrian annexation of 1938, or both Hans Kranl in Cordova, Argentina in the World. The street showed no complex, but missed football.
Despite the victory which he served, Joachim Löw put into the field as it was offensive, with Klose, Podolski and Mario Gomez. Two Poles nationalized front and one Spanish origin. Curious attack. The scorer of Stuttgart, son of Granada father, came very close to scoring in the first few minutes, in an action brought by Klose to the area from the right. His auction, irregular, was drawn by one of his rivals on the same line. A new shooting Gomez was repelled by Macho, but without the dangerousness necessary.
As Löw, and with more reasons because it was worth only victory, Josef Hickersberger tilted by the design more offensive, with Korkmaz and Hoffer from the top alongside Harnik, the young man who leads an interesting end generation, semifinalist the last World sub 20 But the Euro is that this has come too soon. Somewhat surprised by the German boot, Austria cost him his start to be deployed by gangs because of the pace of his rival and the excellent approach Ballack, always in the right position.
It is notable contribution of this footballer, born in the former GDR, the German team, although we have not played the best travelling companions. The led until the end of World Korea and Japan, held until the semifinals in editing his country two years ago, and there remains, decisive.
Until that Austria did not increase their speed did not feel threatened. He looked arrival by gangs, Harnik and Ivanschitz, and shipments to Hoffer in the area to try to force the movements of giant Metzelder. The defence of Real Madrid was sober, but against a striker who was really little. The tier called for a penalty of German defense, Hoffer was not able to control the ball when, at last, had mocked the German offside, and Aufhauser, a right midfielder, tested the safety of Lehmann, deputising for the whole year at Arsenal and holder in the Euro. I should have done more times.
The push, which is not in danger, he encouraged the tier tension and led to the game, with all the keys of a clash of quarters, although the Germans will serve as the tie. Mejuto, with precise instructions for the Uefa to cut any action or protest, showed three yellow cards practically a row, but his most controversial decision was taken outside the rectangle, to expel, in unison, the two coaches. Hickersberger had repeatedly protested to the fourth referee, with visible gestures by fans. Löw and warned it decided not to stay in place. That's when Mejuto, which had already drawn attention to local technical, Solomon took a decision: the two outside. Löw gave some explanation to Angela Merkel, and then sat next to sanctioned Schweinsteiger.
Austria continued and continued, but it was the other parties: will without scoring. Their paths have been too predictable, with no game between the lines. Breakthrough, wall, and auction center, as in training more archaic. Nothing more. In Germany it was enough to hold their intentions, little compromising, and exit the same way in the second half. This time it, to mark a ball standing on a lack launched by Ballack in which the goalkeeper could do something else. Hence the end, it was enough to keep their lines before the sterile racing another host who was fired.(source: elmundo)
