Despite missing more penalties in one shootout than it had done in 40 years of taking spot-kicks after extra time, Germany still managed to end its curse against Italy. Thomas Mueller, Mesut Ozil and Bastian Schweinsteiger all missed in Saturday's shootout after the sides finished 1-1 following extra time in their European Championship quarterfinal. Fortunately, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer spared their blushes with two saves as Italy missed four spot-kicks and Germany went on to win 6-5, securing the team's first competitive victory over the Azzurri at the ninth attempt.
