Toni Kroos scores last minute goal, Germany dramatic win over Sweden

Germany entered the match with the mission of having to win, while Sweden only needed a draw to have a chance to advance. That is why right after the opening whistle, Germany was the team that flooded the opponent's field and continuously put pressure on the Swedish goal.

But before they could make a difference, Germany conceded a goal. Starting from a loss of possession by Toni Kroos, Sweden launched a counter-attack and Toivonen scored after a cross from the right wing. He controlled the ball for a moment, before chipping the ball over Neuer's head.

Toivonen's goal was somewhat fortunate when the ball hit the German defender's foot, but it was a worthy result after Sweden had previously missed a one-on-one with the goalkeeper.

Conceding a goal, Germany increased the pressure while Sweden had more reason to play defensive counter-attack. Germany attacked tirelessly but still could not score a goal at the end of the first half. It was not until the beginning of the second half that midfielder Marco Reus scored to help Germany equalize.

In the 47th minute, Timo Werner dribbled the ball down the left wing close to the Swedish sideline. He made a pass back into the penalty area and Reus quickly rushed in to finish and equalize the score.

With the equalizer, Germany regained their composure and continued to pressure Sweden while the Nordic team was still waiting for dangerous counterattacks. In one such situation, German defender Boateng fouled the Swedish player, causing him to receive a second yellow card and leave the field in the context of Germany desperately needing a goal.

The action on the pitch seemed to be against Germany as their chances were missed one after another. First was Mario Gomez's powerful header that goalkeeper Olsen struggled to block, then Julian Brandt's shot hit the post.

When the referee announced 5 minutes of extra time, the fans of "Tank" felt their chances of winning were smaller than ever.

But at the most difficult moment, the star's spirit spoke up. In the 90+4 minute, Werner dribbled skillfully and was fouled near the penalty area. The ball was placed on the left side of the goal and the shooting angle was very narrow. Marco Reus and Kroos stepped up to the free kick spot and a cross into the box was what the fans had envisioned.

But in the end, Toni Kroos chose to shoot straight. The German midfielder's shot was both powerful and dangerous, going past goalkeeper Olsen's hands and straight into the Swedish slot. The score was 2-1 for Germany and the final whistle was blown a few minutes later.

In the end, Germany won 2-1 thanks to goals from Marco Reus and Toni Kroos. This victory helped coach Joachim Loew's team revive their chances of advancing, while Sweden's loss did not necessarily mean they would lose their chance. The situation in Group F is becoming extremely unpredictable before the final round of matches takes place.
