STUTTGART, Germany (AP) – Florian Wirtz’s last-gasp equalizer has sent Germany and Spain to extra time tied at 1-1 in their European Championship quarterfinal on Friday. Spain was on the verge of eliminating the host of a major tournament for the first time in 10 attempts after substitute Dani Olmo’s strike early in the second half. Olmo came on for a tearful Pedri in the eighth minute – the fastest replacement in Euros history – after the Spain youngster suffered from a couple of hefty challenges. In a late onslaught, Nico Füllkrug hit the post before the leveler from fellow substitute Wirtz. A number of players from both sides were booked and will be suspended if their team reaches Tuesday’s semifinal against Portugal or France. ___ AP Euro 2024: https://apnews.com/hub/euro-2024 8-7
