As in the previous 90-minute game, in extra time, the Netherlands and Italy continued to attack and defend on the pitch, conducting eye-opening half-court offensive and defensive drills.
There's not much to mention about the two teams in extra-time, just two things that have to be mentioned here. First, in the 110th minute of the game, history changed again, and Overmars, who was accidentally knocked down in the penalty area by Cannavaro, won another penalty for the Netherlands, and it was also the third penalty of the game for the orange team!
Seeing that the referee awarded three penalties to the Dutch team in this game, almost all fans were dumbfounded, no one thought that Merck would have such courage and courage on such an occasion!
After all, regardless of whether Merck's decision is reasonable or not, referees who dare to award three penalties to a team in the semifinals of the European Championship, especially one penalty or in the extra-time stage of a one-goal decision, are almost rare, and it is also a heavy occasion like the semifinals of the European Cup, and there are naturally very few referees who dare to do so.
Of course, if someone has to say that there are super-thick-skinned goods like Moreno and Gandur, then I have nothing to say.
Beckenbauer, who appeared in the stands of the stadium to watch the game, also saw Merck's decision, but unlike the previous semi-final, this time the football emperor nodded appreciatively. Unlike the ambiguous penalty against Portugal, this time Overmars was tripped by defender Cannavaro in the box, and Merck blew a penalty as a normal one.
Therefore, although the Dutch winger was a little acting during and after the fall, Merck did not hesitate to award the Netherlands a third penalty!
Seeing that the referee actually awarded another penalty to the Netherlands, Italian fans were naturally very dissatisfied with this, and they didn't care whether Merck's penalty was correct or not. In their eyes, the German, who gave the orange three penalties, is undoubtedly blowing the whistle!
As a result, the stands at the Amsterdam Athletic Stadium erupted in boos, which were apparently directed at referee Merck.
Italian fans have a bit of a conscience and don't put Merck in the category of black whistles, because no matter how dissatisfied they are, they can see that the Germans are not actually taking sides. Therefore, their boos, in addition to venting their dissatisfaction, are more to create psychological pressure on the Dutch players who are about to take the penalty!
After the bizarre missed two penalties in a row in the game, the Dutch players obviously had a lot of psychological shadow on the penalty, so when Merck asked who was the main penalty, there was an embarrassing situation that no one was willing to play.
Eventually, after a bit of pushing and urgent negotiations, Kluivert reluctantly walked up to the twelve-yard point to meet Toldo for a second face-to-face encounter!
The whole Dutch team has a psychological shadow over penalties, and Kluivert is no exception. No, this time the latter obviously lacked enough confidence and courage when he kicked the penalty, not only the shooting power was weak, but the angle was not tricky, and Toldo, who was completely out of state, was directly pressed under him with a side pounce!
For the third time in a row, Toldo, who stood up from the turf with the ball in his arms, roared loudly with excitement, and his teammates all pounced on him with excitement, and for a while they forgot that the game had not yet entered the dead ball, and the Dutchmen could fish in troubled waters at any time while they were celebrating!
However, it is clear that after witnessing the bizarre situation of missing three penalties in a row, the Dutch players have no intention of touching the fish at this time. Especially the sweaty Kluivert, the Dutch center forward was looking at the Italian goal with a confused face at this time, and said in his heart What kind of evil did he fall into today, why can't the ball be kicked in?
In addition to the Holland penalty, another thing that needs to be mentioned happened towards the end of the game.
Towards the end of extra-time, Maldini Sr. used up the last substitution he had been holding on to and replaced Antonio Conte with Filipe Inzaghi, who had been on the bench for almost the entire game, apparently in preparation for the penalty shoot-out that was about to begin. After all, compared to Antonio Conte, who can't score a few goals in a season as a defensive midfielder, Inzaghi is obviously more reliable in taking penalties.
Seeing the gesture of the old Maldini's substitution, Inzaghi, who had long been impatient on the bench, suddenly jumped up. I saw that Pippo, who had already warmed up, and after high-fiveing each other with Antonio Conte on the sidelines, he couldn't wait to rush onto the court!
The Dutch players, including Davies and Stam, didn't pay much attention to Inzaghi's play, after all, there was not much time left for the game, and the final whistle could be played at any time, plus the ball was still in their hands, so no matter how you look at it
However, it was this contemptuous attitude of the Dutch players that made the Orange almost overturn in the gutter before the end of extra-time: Overmars' breakthrough was stopped by Maldini and Di Livio, and the Italian captain, who intercepted the ball, found Vieri's head with a long ball at the back!
Under Stam's close marking, Vieri unloaded the ball from the air steadily, then slammed his left heel to the side with his back to the goal and smashed the ball to Inzaghi, who had quietly plugged in!
After receiving Vieri's clever backheel pass, Inzaghi drove the ball directly into the penalty area, and volleyed directly before Van der Sar attacked, sending the ball into the door of the Dutch team!
There was a dead silence in the stands at the Amsterdam Arena, and the Dutch fans couldn't believe their eyes - in the blink of an eye, their door was breached by the striker who didn't even play a minute?
However, just as Inzaghi was about to run to the sidelines to strip and celebrate, he suddenly found that the referee did not declare the goal valid, but made a gesture that he was all too familiar with......
"Oh! See what we see? Referee Merck signaled that Inzaghi's goal was offside, and the goal was invalid! Impossible, right? Even the linesman didn't signal that Inzaghi was offside, how did Merck see it......" The commentator was also extremely shocked by Merck's penalty at this time, and hurriedly checked the slow-motion replay, "Let's take a look at the game replay...... God! What a god! Slow motion shows that at the moment of Vieri's pass, Inzaghi landed just half a body behind Stam! Merck's decision was no problem! ”
In this way, under the bitter gaze of Inzaghi and the Italian players, Merck blew off Pippo's offside goal with great calmness!
