Sportzwiki Year Review: Top Ten 2016 Encounters That Stunned The Football World 1

Germany 1-1 (6-5) Italy, Euro 2016

Germany have seven major titles to their name but remarkably, before this quarter-final meeting they had never beaten Italy in eight attempts at a FIFA World Cup or EURO. The hex ended in dramatic style in Bordeaux, after Leandro Bonucci converted from the spot to cancel out Mesut Özil’s opener. A remarkable shoot-out featured more Germany misses in a few minutes than the previous 40 years combined, but still they triumphed.
