90'
Germany rescue three points
Germany was the attacking team for the majority of the game. Despite that, they found themselves behind at half time after a counter-attack goal from Ola Toivonen. Germany recovered in the second half and score a quick goal by Marco Reus. After Jermore Boateng got sent off for a second yellow, Sweden looked to grab a second goal themselves. Germany kept their wits about them and were eventually rewarded in injury time as Toni Kroos scored a wonderful goal. Germany stays alive and go level with Sweden in the group on points. They will play the Korea Repbulic in their final match as they look to move on to the next round.<br> Sweden saw the second round in their future when they took the lead in the first half. They were punished by a more talented German team. Sweden kept Germany at bay for most of the game but could hold out no longer.

Group F - Matchday 2 - Germany vs. Sweden
Germany suffered a shock defeat to Mexico in their first match at this tournament. The defending World Cup champions looked slow in defense and were punished by the speed of Mexico. Their backs are against the wall and they must produce a result against Sweden if they want to stay alive in this tournament. Coach Joachim Low has made some changes to his line-up in the hopes of earning a better result. Mats Hummels picked up an injury in training and has been replaced by Antonio Rudiger. Jonas Hector comes in to take Marvin Plattenhardt's position. There are two more changes in midfield as Sami Khedira is replaced by Sebatian Rudy meanwhile Julian Draxler moves to the center, taking over Mesut Ozil's spot and Marco Reus starts the game on the left flank. These changes are targeted at giving Germany a bit more pace throughout the field. Germany has all the skill required to win the game and they will need to work together as a team to get their chances on goal. Germany will be eliminated from the tournament with a loss against Sweden.<br> Though it may not have been the most exciting win, Sweden walked away from their match against the Korean Republic with all three points. It was captain Andreas Granqvist that stepped up and scored a penalty to give Sweden their sole goal in the game. There is only one change for Sweden with Victor Lindelof coming in at central defense for Pontus Jansson. Sweden will need to stay strong and organized in order to stifle out the Germany creativity and skill in in attack. Sweden can secure a spot in the next round with a win over the Germans.
