Germany who took the spoils. The tournament itself could hardly have hoped for a better venue, with Englands renovated stadia and heightened public enthusiasm creating the perfect backdrop, even if many locals feared that key men Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer might be spent forces. After remaining loyal during Shearers 2. Terry Venables received immediate vindication. Englands leaden 1 1 draw with Switzerland was mitigated by the Blackburn Rovers FC striker opening the scoring, and he pounced again in the 2 0 victory over Scotland as did Gascoigne with a classy second. And there was even better to come when Shearer and Teddy Sheringham shared two apiece in a dazzling 4 1 triumph over the Netherlands, who needed Patrick Kluiverts consolation to rescue a quarter final berth at Scotlands expense. Italy and holders Denmark were less fortunate, bowing out before the golden goal rule appeared for the first time in a curiously attritional knockout phase. Czech Republic revelation Karel Poborsk chipped sublimely to beat Portugal, but elsewhere there was little to cheer. Matthias Sammers winner for Germany against Croatia was overshadowed by some overbearing Croatian tackling and both England and France needed penalty shoot outs to advance, following 0 0 stalemates with Spain and the Netherlands respectively.

Patrik Berger converted from the spot, but that was to ignore the quality on the German bench. Berti Vogts sent on Oliver Bierhoff and, after heading an equaliser, the predatory finisher broke Czech hearts four minutes into extra time. His shot may have been tame, but it found its way past Petr Kouba for the competitions first ever golden goal. Suddenly, the game and the tournament belonged to Germany.
