The horrendous scene got out of hands |
Germany manager Joachim Low disagreed with his opponent's allegation of mockery from his member of staff saying in response that he did witness any of the accusations and neither did he make any gesture.
"We concentrated on other things. We hugged each other. We were elated. I didn't see any aggressive gestures," Low said.
"It was a thriller, full of emotions, a roller-coaster ride. We incurred full risk. Every reserve had to be mobilised. We had great chances and last moments were full of drama."
