Germany defeated Sweden in the last minute and stays alive in the World Cup
The coach of Germany, Joachim Löw, praised the demonstration of effort and overcoming of his players after overcoming a match they were losing against Sweden at the end of the first half, and highlighted the prize thatToni Kroos obtained by going from villain to hero with the agonizing winning goal.
"The team made an effort, despite being at a disadvantage," said the coach at the end of the second day match of Group F played at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi.
He attributed a large part of the vigorous comeback to the entry of Mario Gómez at the beginning of the second half, but insisted on praising the performance of the entire team.
Löw had special words for Toni Kroos, as a mistake of his led to Sweden's goal in the 32nd minute and in the 95th minute he secured the German victory with a spectacular shot after a free kick.
"I am very happy for Toni Kroos, as he was responsible for Sweden's goal and usually doesn't make these mistakes. His free kick was world class. He deserves it," he pointed out.
