A key to Mario Balotelli has led to Italy's Euro 2012 final after a 2-1 win over Germany on Thursday.
A Mario Balotelli brace has guided Italy into the Euro 2012 final after a 2-1 win over Germany on Thursday
Cesare Prandelli men will face Spain in Sunday's decider after surprisingly comfortable victory against one of the pre-tournament favorites in the semifinal.
Mesut Ozil Germany pulled a goal in the second half injury time, but Italy survived the final onslaught.
Italy is inspired by Manchester City star Balotelli, who scored two goals in the first half to take account for the tournament to three goals.
He opened the scoring on 20 minutes, escaping his marker before nodding a cross from Antonio Cassano past Manuel Neuer.
Balotelli doubled the advantage of your computer dramatically nine minutes before the break.
A long pass from Riccardo Montolivo found Balotelli in acres of space, and the explosion clear 21 years of age before firing a single shot to the top from the edge of the area.
Germany increased the pressure in the second half and were rewarded in the second minute of added time, when they conceded a penalty for a hand of Federico Balzaretti.
Ozil came to convert, but Italy held on to reach their first European final of the Championship since 2000.
They will be the subject of his first European title since 1968, when they face Spain in Kiev on Sunday.
