Two late free-kicks sent Germany to the European U21 Championships final after an entertaining 4-2 victory over Romania in Bologna.

Nadiem Amiri gave Germany the lead after an impressive solo run and strike (21), before a VAR review saw Romania awarded a penalty, which George Puscas converted (26).

Puscas completed the turnaround just before the break with a fine header (44), but tournament top scorer Luca Waldschmidt levelled from the spot after a contentious penalty was awarded just after the break (51).

The game looked to be heading to extra-time, but two late free-kicks from Waldschmidt (90) and then Amiri (90+3), either side of Alex Pascanu seeing red for two bookings, sent Germany through.

They will face either France or Spain, who play in the other semi-final on Thursday night.
