VIDEO: Late Kroos stunner keeps Germany World Cup hopes alive

It was all looking bad for Germany .

Joachim Low's side, who trailed at half-time against Sweden, pulled level just after the break through Marco Reus, but for much of the second half of the match Sweden's defence looked unlikely to surrender a second goal.

With Mexico having already beaten the Germans and Sweden sitting on three points coming in, anything other than a win would have been near disastrous for Low's men, leaving their hopes of advancing to the last 16 hanging by the thinnest of threads.

But Toni Kroos came up with a moment of pure magic, and suddenly things aren't looking so bad after all.
