With coach Hanno Balitsch leading the team for his first tournament, Germany found themselves battling for the second semifinal spot in an open contest. Norway snatched the lead through Sondre Granaas in the 72nd minute, but the German side fought back with a stunning goal from Assan Ouedraogo in the 85th minute, followed by a late winner by Said El Mala in the 90th+1 minute, sealing the triumph.
Having lost in their opening game to the Netherlands (0:3) and blew a 5:1 lead against England, Germany needed a win and relied on help from the Netherlands, who defeated England (4:2) to secure the required result.
