Ninety minutes in the books. Three minutes added. What this match has lacked in skill and energy, it's making up for with drama. Methinks this will end like a Greek Tragedy.

Extra time starts and ITA earns another yellow. This time it's Florenzi and he's out of the semifinals should ITA advance.
In action that looks like it's being broadcast in slow motion, Germany earn a corner at 100" which is converted into another, but from the other side. Boatang with a 30 yard shot that never had a chance. Goal kick ITA.
ITA with yet ANOTHER Yellow. Stupid one at that. Giaccerini falling down after a tackle and he grabs the ball in frustation. Fifth ITA player booked.
105 minutes in the books. Teams will switch sides and try to settle this match before the clock strikes 120. Germany has used two subs (both due to injury). Italy has only used one.
Draxel misses a bicycle kick goal by the width of the soccer ball.
ITA sub. Eder out. Insigne in. 107"
Draxel leads a 3-on-2 break but his pass to Mueller is a too far ahead. Missed opportunity, but it looks like Draxel and his fresher legs (having been subbed in in the second half) is a player to watch in the final few minutes.
Schweinsteiger earns a yellow at 112". Poor call. And then official gets hit with a clearing attempt. Evidently fatigue is affecting the officials as well as the players.
Zaza on for Chiellini at 120". Clearly a move made for PKs. Whistle blows.
Here we go again. Penalty Kicks.
