International football tournament stage
The knockout stage of UEFA Euro 2012 began with the quarter-finals on 21 June 2012, and was completed on 1 July 2012 with the final at the Olympic Stadium in Kyiv , won by Spain.[ 1] [ 2] [ 3] Poland and Ukraine failed to qualify for the quarter-finals, making it only the third time in European Championship history that the host nation(s) failed to make it out of the group stage; at Euro 2000 , co-host Belgium were eliminated at the group stage, and at Euro 2008 , co-hosts Austria and Switzerland also failed to qualify for the quarter-finals.
Any game in the knockout stage that was undecided by the end of the regular 90 minutes was followed by 30 minutes of extra time (two 15-minute halves). If scores were still level after 30 minutes of extra time, there would be a penalty shootout (at least five penalties each, and more if necessary) to determine who progressed to the next round. As with every tournament since UEFA Euro 1984 , there was no third place play-off .
The top two placed teams from each of the four groups qualified for the knockout stage.
