Nadiem Amiri's low 20-yard finish gave Germany the lead but two goals by George Puscas earned Romania a 2-1 half-time lead in Bologna.

Puscas levelled with a penalty, awarded after a video assistant referee check, before heading his country ahead.

Luca Waldschmidt's penalty made it 2-2 before he put Germany ahead in the 90th minute, Amiri adding the fourth.

Romania, who finished with 10 men after Alex Pascanu was sent off in the closing moments, have been a revelation at this tournament, beating both England and Croatia, and looked on course for a shock before Germany fought back to make the final.

The game was played in extreme heat in Italy and was stopped four times to allow players from both sides to have water breaks.

Forward Lukas Nmecha, who played in the Championship for Preston on loan from Manchester City in 2018-19, came on as a substitute for Germany.

Germany will meet Spain in the final in Udine on Sunday (19:45 BST) after they beat France 4-1.
