Germany took the lead in the 11th minute but Portugal's real pain was yet to come.

Pepe was eventually sent off , with controversies surrounding the decision. It is yet again an example of Pepe losing his cool in crunch situations. He did his team no good in the process as they were reduced to 10 men in the opening 15 minutes of the game.
