Germany kept their hopes of progressing from the group stage alive on Saturday with a dramatic last minute winner against Sweden from Kroos.

The reigning world champions were facing the distinct possibility of elimination when Jerome Boating was sent off for a second bookable offence with the scores level.

But Kroos stepped up in the dying seconds to curl in an exquisite effort from the left side of the box to clinch all three points.

It means they currently occupy second in the group, level with Sweden and three points behind Mexico.
