GERMANY have one foot in the semi finals of the Under-21 European Championship after cruising to a 3-0 win over Denmark.
The Germans won their first match against the Czech Republic with ease.
And they now need just a point against Italy to book their place in the next stage of the tournament, with Denmark crashing out after losing twice already.
Germany dominated the first half at the Jozef Pilsudski Stadium and went close with a number of shots.
But they had to wait until the 52nd minute to take the lead when Davie Selke fired an incredible shot into the top corner of the net.
