Toni Kroos' late stunner puts Germany back in last-16 contention after beating Sweden

SOCHI, Russia -- Three points on Germany's dramatic 2-1 comeback win against Sweden at the World Cup.

1. Kroos stunner bails out Low and Germany

Toni Kroos kept Germany alive at Russia 2018 with a stunning winner five minutes into stoppage time against Sweden, but the world champions may still need to beat South Korea in their final group game to reach the knock-out stages of the competition.

In a pulsating Group F clash in Sochi, Sweden claimed a first-half lead through Ola Toivonen which left Germany needing to score twice to maintain a realistic hope of qualifying for the round of 16.
