Toni Kroos might have made a mistake, but he redeems himself.
Germany defeat Sweden thanks to a last-minute free-kick goal from Kroos to keep their hopes of progressing to knockout rounds alive.
Although it is his mistake which leads to Sweden's first goal, he has turned from zero to hero by rising to the occasion late in the second half.
The Real Madrid starlet is a free kick specialist, but today he has made 144 touches, setting a new record for any German players at the World Cup since the founding of Opta statistics.
Congratulations to Kroos and Germany, but they still have to beat South Korea in final group game to retain any hopes of making it to last 16.

he deserve it because he correct his mistakes of giving Sweden the first goal and then make a comeback with a spectacular goal from freekick. that's what champions do, save their team at the right moment and time. finally, 4 real Madrid players get man of the match which are Cristiano Ronaldo, isco, modric, and today kroos, while messi is facing elimination if Nigeria win or draw . this is the effect of champions. real Madrid are proud to have you all, home of champions
