A clearly illustrated the quality of the game indicated Germany.
Special appearance that was shown by Julian Draxler managed to record one assists and scored one goal, to make everyone forget that there's a little tarnished the great German victory in those games: the failure of a penalty committed by Mesut Ozil.
Five minutes after goals from Jerome Boateng, Germany earned a penalty after Slovakia defender Martin Skrtel, a foul in the box. Mesut Ozil advanced as the executor failed to carry out their duties properly. Execution Ozil towards the right goalpost successfully countered by Matus Kozacik. Germany failed to increase the advantage.
Indeed, in the end the German managed to win the match and presents a very interesting game to watch. However, the failure of Mesut Ozil penalty is something that gives a stain on a long history of success of German-related affairs to execute the kick 12 pas.
Germany had a good record related affairs penalty kick. A 100% record belongs to Germany in a penalty kick affairs both in normal times as well when it entered the round of penalty kicks. Each executor of the penalty Germany have always done their job well. Penalties, too, who took them managed to advance to the European Cup final in 1996, which where then they came out as champions. In its history, Germany is also famous executioners had a great start of Gerd Muller, Lothar Matthaus, Jurgen Klinsmann, to Michael Ballack.
The last time Germany missed a penalty player was at Euro 1976. At that time the culprit is Uli Hoenes. In the final against Czechoslovakia, execution Hoenes soared on the opponent's goal. The record lasted for 40 years until the end Ozil "solve" the record in the match against Slovakia.
Oezil is not alone. He is the fifth penalty taker throughout the European Cup this time failed to carry out their duties properly. Before Ozil, there were two former colleagues at Real, Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, the penalty thwarted. Aleksandar Dragovic from Austria and Granit Xhaka from Switzerland also add to the long list of players who missed a penalty in the European Cup this time.
Ozil's failure even made a lot of strong reactions on social media. Including no joke by saying that Ozil was not good enough as the Germans. Failure this time is not everything, but it will certainly tarnish the career of a Mesut Ozil in the future, as the "German" who failed to renew history.
