England-Germany Semi-Final in Euro 1996
4 of the 7 games in the knockout round of Euro 96, including both semi-finals, were decided by penalty kicks. The epic semi-final match between Germany and England, decided by penalties after 120 minutes of play, exemplified the emotional highs and lows of Euro 96 (experienced both by fans and players). With both sides scoring a goal in regulation time, and neither managing to put in a golden goal (though England's Paul Gascoigne was certainly given the opportunity to), Germany and England exchanged perfect penalty shots until German keeper Andreas Kopke stopped Gareth Southgate's penalty for the victory. Germany would go on to win Euro 96 beating the Czech Republic with a 95th minute golden goal by Oliver Bierhoff.
