Mario Balotelli scored two goals as Italy advanced to the Euro 2012 finals with a 2-1 victory over Germany.

The mercurial striker had his big international moment on one of the biggest possible stages. He headed in a goal in the 20th minute and rocketed in this blast in the 36th minute to secure the win.

His shirtless celebration earned him a yellow card, but, hey, would you expect anything else from Balotelli?
