FRANKFURT—The euro-zone economy tore past the U.S. in the second quarter thanks to a 9% jump in German growth—but the surge is expected to fade fast, adding to concerns about the global recovery.

Economists had expected growth closer to 3%. Excluding Germany, which makes up almost 30% of the bloc’s economy, GDP advanced about 2.5%.
