The undefeatable swerving shots from middle-left of the pitch crowned Schweinsteiger the Man of the Match who had successfully injected the 'Cardiotonic' into Germany's blood, turning the match in German's favor 11 minutes after 2nd half of the match. The cheering crowd had their emotion being aroused into another level when Schweinsteiger powerful free kick lead-to an 'own-goal' by Portuguese midfielder, Petit, marking a regretful stain to Portugal defencing form. Left wing would have been Schweinsteiger lucky field when his 3rd attempt from the far-left-end of the middle pitch (the 2nd 'own-goal' was resulted from his strong free-kick from left-middle-pitch), perfectly soared toward the far-right-corner of the net, giving Ricardo no chance of safe.
Nuno Gomes' header goal from a great cross by Figo at the very last 4 minutes of the match that flew through Kahn's arms had brought the match with 2-goals margin in favor to Germany. Despite with good ball possession, the Portuguese who had made the games even in 1st half had not been capitalizing their possession and strength much, which opened up the scoring opportunity to German from distance. The selfishness in Klose who aimed for Golden Boots had cause in lost of few goalscoring opportunities when his teammates were in better place. Nonetheless, sitting at the top of the scoring chart with 5 goals in hands, Klose should be close to his dream of Golden Boots unless the French player, Henry pierce through Italian's defence wall twice.
