STUTTGART, Germany — Substitute Mikel Merino headed Spain into the semifinals of the European Championship as they snatched a 2-1 win over Germany in extra time on Friday.
Florian Wirtz’s equalizer in the last minute of regulation time sent the intense quarterfinal to extra time.
Dani Olmo — who set up Merino’s winner — netted the opener early in the second half.
Spain defender Dani Carvajal was sent off late in extra time for a second yellow card and will be suspended for Tuesday’s semifinal against Portugal or France. Fellow defender Robin le Normand will also miss the match after picking up a booking.
The result ended the career of Germany’s Toni Kroos.
