Mario Balotelli scored a brace as Italy defeated Germany by 2-1 at Euro 2012 semi final. The Manchester City striker put the Azurris' ahead via a header that was superbly nodded into the net after a good work from Antonio Cassano.
Mario scored the second goal that sealed the final ticket for his country when his pin point shot flew into the top corner of Manuel Neuer's goal. Andrea Pirlo cleared a ball off the line before the Italians took the lead. A late penalty was converted by Mesut Ozil, but that was not enough for Joachim Low's men to stop the Azurris. The Germans have lost eight competitive matches against the Italians. Spain will tackle Italy in the final on Sunday evening. The Olympic stadium in Kiev will be the match venue.
