BASEL: Defender Philipp Lahm’’s late strike put three-times European champions Germany in Sunday’’s Euro 2008 final and sealed a 3-2 win to knock out injury-ravaged Turkey on Wednesday night. Lahm’’s 90th minute goal made sure Vienna will be Germany’’s final destination after Turkey’’s Semih Senturk had forced an equaliser just four minutes from time to make it 2-2 to set up another dramatic finish. Germany striker Miroslav Klose had nudged his side into the lead on 79 minutes after Bastian Schweinsteiger’’s first-half goal had cancelled out Ugur Boral’’s early strike as Turkey had taken a shock lead. This was Germany’’s first win over Turkey since May 1992 and Fatih Terim’’s battered side used their never-say-die spirit forced the Germans to work hard.
