At 0:00 AM on July 6th, Spain beat Germany 2-1 in extra time in the quarter-finals of the European Championship to reach the semi-finals.
In the 119th minute of the match, Merino scored the winning goal for Spain, and Morata, who was on the bench, ran onto the pitch to celebrate but was shown a yellow card by the referee. This meant that Morata would be suspended for the semi-final against France due to an accumulation of yellow cards, which led to him being in tears.
However, after the match, UEFA confirmed that Morata did not receive a yellow card for celebrating and will still be available for the semi-final. The yellow card controversy was caused by a “mistake” by the broadcaster, with the actual player who received the yellow card being Ruiz.
