STORYLINE:
Thousands of Italian football fans celebrated on the streets of Rome on Tuesday night following their team's 2-0 win over Germany in the first semi-final of the World Cup, in Dortmund.
Crowds of football fans in Dortmund, Berlin and Rome were glued to huge screens to watch the match.
Hundreds of thousands of fans in the German capital watched the match from the "fan mile," while thousands gathered in the Italian capital's Circus Maximus.
The match went to extra time after the score remained 0-0 after 90 minutes.
Germany had more of the chances at the stadium in Dortmund, where the national team has 13 wins and one draw.
Both sides had good opportunities to break the deadlock in extra time.
But it was Italy who started to dominate.
They twice hit the post before Fabio Grosso finally found the back of the net.
Grosso curled a left-footed shot past German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann in the 119th minute, prompting mass celebrations in Rome.
A minute later, Alessandro Del Piero made it 2-0, securing Italy's place in Sunday's World Cup final.
Italy will be playing in the World Cup final for the sixth time.
They have won the tournament three times.
