Oh my lord what a game of football. Toni Kroos' absolute wonderstrike has saved Germany's World Cup campaign. Sweden were 45 minutes away from eliminating the champions, but could not survive in the end. 

Toni Kroos will be the toast of Germany for the time being but Manuel Neuer and Marco Reus played their part as well, Neuer's save in the final seconds of the first half kept his side in the game. 
Germany are now favourites to qualify but Sweden will be heartbroken. That's football for you!

That's it for me. I need to lie down! Join us tomorrow for more live coverage of the World Cup. Goodnight!

96' Seb Larsson is awarded a yellow. Sweden are devastated

01:22 (IST)24 JUN 2018

95' TONNNNNIIII KROOOOS YOU MAGICIAN. Kroos has saved Germany's campaign with an absolute stunner. Reus lays it off to Kroos and he curls one marvellously into the top corner. No chance for Olsen.  You cannot write a better script. Oh what a game

01:21 (IST)24 JUN 2018

95' FREEKICK FOR GERMANY. FINAL THROW OF THE DICE FOR THEM

01:20 (IST)24 JUN 2018

94' Kroos lifts a wonderful ball into the path of Reus but his attempt at a cutback is thwarted by his own lack of composure and he hits one into the crowd

01:18 (IST)24 JUN 2018

93' OFF THE POST. BRANDT WHAT A STRIKE.  The sub receives the ball on the edge of the box and absolutely leathers one at goal. Olsen looks on helplessly but it crashes into the post. How unlucky are Germany?

01:18 (IST)24 JUN 2018

92' Werner whips one in but Lustig turns it behind for a corner. Final chance for Germany?

01:17 (IST)24 JUN 2018

91' 5 minutes of added time. 5 minutes for Sweden to hold on. 5 minutes for Germany to conjure some magic

01:17 (IST)24 JUN 2018

90' Kroos whips it in but it's easily headed away by Lindelöf. What an effort this has been from Sweden

01:16 (IST)24 JUN 2018

89' Sweden substitution. Thelin replaces Berg. Can Sweden hold on?

01:16 (IST)24 JUN 2018

89' Germany win a freekick in a promising position. Is this their time?

01:14 (IST)24 JUN 2018

88' OHHHH WHAT A SAVE BY OLSEN. UNBELIEVABLE. Lovely ball into the box from the left. Mario Gomez towers over the defender and powers a header at goal but Olsen palms it over the post. What a chance for Germany

87' Final throw of the dice for Germany. Brandt replaces Hector

01:12 (IST)24 JUN 2018

84' What a chance for Sweden. Neuer makes a mess of things but Guidetti can't get on the end of it. 

01:08 (IST)24 JUN 2018

83' Boateng is sent off. Hacks at Berg from behind. The ref initially waves it away but VAR comes to Sweden's rescue and he receives his marching orders. 

01:07 (IST)24 JUN 2018

82' Werner! Chance wasted. Kimmich again drills one into the 6-yard box but Werner can't get his foot over it and sends it way over the crossbar. That should have been a goal.

01:06 (IST)24 JUN 2018

80' Muller and Granqvist have their own mini McGregor-Khabib battle in the box. The reff spots an infringement and awards Sweden a freekick

01:05 (IST)24 JUN 2018

78' The Swedish fans are in tears. They can't take the suspense. I don't blame them one bit

01:04 (IST)24 JUN 2018

77' Another change for Sweden. The goalscorer Toivonen trots off and is replaced by Guidetti

01:03 (IST)24 JUN 2018

76' Shout for a penalty as Granqvist goes down under pressure. The ball falls out to Forsberg on the edge of the box and he nails one first time but it's straight at Neuer who collects comfortably.

01:01 (IST)24 JUN 2018

75' The sub is straight into the action. Drives at Rudiger and wins a corner for his side. Can Sweden make something out of this? 

01:01 (IST)24 JUN 2018

Durmaz on
Claesson off

00:59 (IST)24 JUN 2018

00:57 (IST)24 JUN 2018

71' Yellow for Boateng for a late challenge on Forsberg who was charging into German territory

00:56 (IST)24 JUN 2018

70' No Kroos No. Gives it away cheaply yet again and Sweden counter. However, the lack of bodies forward means the attack breaks down

00:56 (IST)24 JUN 2018

69' Germany are asking all the questions here but Sweden ave done well to regroup after that Reus goal.

00:54 (IST)24 JUN 2018

68' OFFSIDE. Boateng lifts one into the far post but Mario Gomez misses from 2 yards out. Unbelievable. Luckily for him, the flag was raised.

00:53 (IST)24 JUN 2018

67' Oh what a turnaround from Germany. They have Sweden camped in their own half and it's only a matter of time before they get a second

00:52 (IST)24 JUN 2018

66' Kimmich is having a ball on the right. Another stunning ball into the box but Olsen palms it away 

00:51 (IST)24 JUN 2018

00:50 (IST)24 JUN 2018

62' Kroos receives the ball on the edge of the box, feints beautifully and unleashes one with his left but it's brilliantly blocked by Lindelof.

00:47 (IST)24 JUN 2018

60' REUS WHAT A MISS. A wonderful ball whipped into the box by Kimmich. Reus in acres of space all alone with the keeper but suffers a brainfade and tries to backflick it into the net and makes a meal of things. WHY MARCO WHY?

00:45 (IST)24 JUN 2018

58' Great counter by Germany but let down by the final ball. Reus was in acres of space in the middle but Gomez couldn't pick him out

00:43 (IST)24 JUN 2018

56' Hectorrr. What a chance for Germany. Werner races down the left and cuts one back into the path of Hector but he drags his shot straight at the keeper.

00:42 (IST)24 JUN 2018

55' Toivonen goes in late on Kroos who crumples to the floor in pain. Freekick Germany and play continues. That was naughty from Toivonen and he could have been booked

00:41 (IST)24 JUN 2018

54' It's one-way traffic at the moment. Germany going hammer and tongs at the Swedes who have somehow managed to remain afloat

00:39 (IST)24 JUN 2018

53' First yellow of the match awarded to Ekdal

00:38 (IST)24 JUN 2018

52' Loew must have lambasted his men at half time cause they have come out blazing. This is the Germany we know and love

00:37 (IST)24 JUN 2018

50' Goaaalll no sidenetting. How close was that? Kroos delivers a peach into the box and Muller rises high and flicks it on but it hits the side of the net.

00:36 (IST)24 JUN 2018

49' Freekick for Germany in a promising position

00:36 (IST)24 JUN 2018

48' CLOSE. Germany almost take the lead. Kroos tries to curl one in from the edge of the box but it deflects jut wide of the post. What a start to the second half

00:34 (IST)24 JUN 2018

47' GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOALLLLL. Marco Reus equalises. Werner drives one into the box. Muller lunges at it but it pops up to Reus who reacts brilliantly to poke it in.

00:33 (IST)24 JUN 2018

46' Germany get us underway. Can Mario Gomez inspire Loew's men? Muller drives one into the box but Lindelof is in the way. 

00:31 (IST)24 JUN 2018

45' Loew has had enough. Draxler is off for Mario Gomez. 2 up top for Germany now.

00:30 (IST)24 JUN 2018

We are back. 45 minutes for Germany to salvage their World Cup

00:18 (IST)24 JUN 2018

Peeeeep. The ref brings an end to a stunning first half. Germany have been torn apart by Sweden after missing a couple of chances in the first 10 minutes. The Swedes could have been 3 goals up. 

Germany have 45 minutes to save their World Cup campaign. Can they do it? Join us for the second half in 15.

00:16 (IST)24 JUN 2018

45' WHAT A SAVE BY MANUEL NEUER. Larsson delivers a peach into the box. Berg flicks it on beautifully but boom Neuer's outstretched hand comes outta nowhere and palms it away. Neuer is well and truly back!

00:13 (IST)24 JUN 2018

44' What a chance for Sweden. 3 vs 1 but they contrive to mess it up. Sweden rip Germany apart on the break yet again. Toivonen flicks it onto Forsberg in space. The ball is whipped across into Claesson on the right who decides to try and cut back instead of taking a firsttime shot but Hector somehow gets a boot on it. Sensational defending.
