DORTMUND (Reuters) - Hosts Germany and Italy went into extra time with the score at 0-0 on Tuesday in a pulsating World Cup semi-final in which both teams sought to attack.
Italy dominated the game with a crisp inter-passing game but the German defense held firm and the home team, who have never lost in Dortmund, looked to exploit chances on the break.
Both sides are three-times World Cup winners. Germany are looking for an eighth appearance in the final and Italy a sixth.
The winners, after extra time and any subsequent penalty shootout, will play Portugal or France in the final in Berlin on Sunday.
