WORLD CUP 2018: Germany kept alive as Kroos free-kick crushes Sweden

After succumbing to a shocking 1-0 loss against Mexico last time out, Germany went into their game against Sweden knowing that they would have to win in a bid to have a clear shot of going through to the Round of 16.

Sweden came into the tie with a mission, to prevent Germany from winning, as their manager Janne Andersson set them up to park the bus from the game's onset, thus giving Germany most of the ball, but limiting the space with which they can launch attacks.
