June 12th 11:50am US/Eastern Time (5:50pm Central European Time)
St. Jakob-Park, Basel- Group B
Result: Croatia 2 - Germany 1
Croatia sealed their place in the quarter-finals of UEFA EURO 2008™ as goals from Darijo Srna and Ivica Olić earned a famous win against Germany that took Slaven Bilić's side three points clear at the top of Group B.
With both teams having won their first game on Sunday each knew victory in Klagenfurt would all but secure a ticket to the last eight, and it was Croatia who struck first midway through the first half thanks to the determination of Srna. The points looked safe when Olić tapped in just past the hour, yet Lukas Podolski set up a tense finale with his third goal of the tournament eleven minutes from time.
Croatia, whose only previous success against the Mannschaft had come in the quarter-finals of the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
