Germany vs Sweden As it happened World Cup 2018: Toni Kroos goal breaks Swedish hearts

Follow all the action as Germany look to make up for their loss to Mexico

Germany World Cup profile

Germany will be raring to get over their surprise 1-0 defeat they suffered against Mexico in their opening Group F game. Hirving Lozano scored the only goal of the game which had the German players scratching their heads and gazing at one-another with confused looks.

In their first game Sweden strolled past South Korea, Andreas Granqvist scored the only goal of the game from the penalty spot. South Korea failed to register a single shot on target and will certainly be tested against a Germany attacking force with a point to prove.

Group F remains wide open which means anything other than a win for Germany would be a disaster.

95 mins: GOAL! INCREDIBLE! GERMANY 2-1 SWEDEN

It's a piece of brilliance from Toni Kroos, around the wall and into the top corner. Heart breaking for Sweden in the very last minute of stoppage time

FULL TIME: GERMANY 2-1 SWEDEN

Absolutely incredible. What a game. Toivonen took the lead for Sweden, Marco Reus equalised, before Jerome Boateng was sent off. It all looked to be over, and then up stepped Toni Kroos with a sumptious strike into the top corner. Heart breaking for Sweden, but that could be the turning point for this German campaign.
