2nd Quarter Final: Germany beat Greece 4-2 at Euro 2012 and are in Semi finals

Philipp Lahm hammers Germany ahead

Germany beat Greece 4-2 at Euro 2012 Germany breezed past Greece and into the last four of Euro 2012 after a dominant display in Gdansk.Joachim Low made three significant changes from the side that took Germany through the group stages as his forward line of Mario Gomez, Lukas Podolski and Thomas Muller was overhauled in favour of Miroslav Klose, Andre Schurrle and Marco Reus.Klose and Reus both repaid his faith by finding the net, adding the third and fourth goals of the game after Philipp Lahm and Sami Khedira had put Germany 2-1 ahead.The 4-2 scoreline was generous to Greece, who were outmanoeuvred and overwhelmed by the pace and persistence of Germany's attack.Giorgios Samaras appeared to give Fernando Santos' side hope of a bail-out after netting a shock equaliser to Lahm's opener but the deficit was only momentarily cancelled as Khedira put Germany back in front moments later.Klose and Reus added further strikes before Dimitris Salpingidis' late penalty earned a second consolation, after Jerome Boateng had handballed.
