Catch-up: Could Germany avoid World Cup exit v Sweden?

Sweden just don't have anyone up field to hold the ball up now. They clear a corner but with every man back in defence the next wave of German attack is inevitable.

Sweden goalkeeper Robin Olsen does well to get down and parry a low, driven cross away from danger.

Kyle: Fair play to Germany they have had a brilliant start to the 2nd half. Fortunate they were with the equaliser. Huge 10-15 minutes now for Sweden they have to weather this German storm.

Graham: The Swedes have parked a Volvo bus, Saab sedan and a Scania lorry in front of their net…

Germany are piling the pressure on here. Sweden can't get the ball and when they do Marcus Berg is too isolated. Germany are really stretching Sweden at the moment.

More German chants from the stands as they urge their side on. A reminder that as it stands Germany are not out but Sweden would only need a point in their final game against Mexico to progress at Germany's expense.

Every player other than Manuel Neuer is now within 45m of the Sweden goal. Thomas Muller crosses from the by-line but Seb Larsson cuts it out.

Good ball by Joshua Kimmich - he fizzes it across - Marco Reus just goes for the flick and any contact and it's a goal. Germany are passing it in between the lines willy nilly at the moment, Sweden have to get the pressure on.

I think could hear the intake of breath in Sochi from here!

A fine cross along the turf from Joshua Kimmich picks out Marco Reus but the Borussia Dortmund forward tries a backheel flick and fails to make contact unmarked from six yards.

A chance.

The break is on for Germany but Mario Gomez isn't going to run away from anyone. Sweden scramble back. This game is far more open than in the first half.

It's the German fans making the noise in the stands.

It's one-way traffic at the moment. Ilkay Gundogan and Toni Kroos are pulling the strings in the middle of the park.

Now left-back Jonas Hector pops up in the box and gets a weak shot away for Germany that is comfortably saved.

More arm waving from the German manager. He looks like he's trying to swim butterfly in reverse.

Sweden know they can play better and that if they can keep the ball they will trouble this German defence again. Germany just need to keep their intensity high, because from their point of view, it's on a knife edge.

Low still wants more from his players. I've rarely seen him pace and point on the touchline as much as this.

He's never been at risk of going out in the World Cup group stages before though so that's probably why.

Bosh.

It's getting tasty now. Celtic's Mikael Lustig barges a shoulder into Timo Werner and now a few players are squaring up to each other.

The break in play could help Sweden get their shape back. They need to.

Callum: Guess you could say the Germans kneeded that...

Lee: Lucky goal for Germany that but game on now!

Paul: It may have been ugly and off the knee but there is something Germany always has which means they never go away.

Thomas Muller sneaks in like only he can and gets a header on goal from Kroos' delivery but his header is wide of the near post.

Sweden are going to have to weather a German storm now. Toni Kroos is stood over a free-kick in a dangerous position.

Donal: I do love Marco Reus.

Roshimon: Here comes the World champions. Score their first goal of this World Cup and a very important one.

Shaun: Germany just upset the rest of the world.

Joachim Low punches the air. It's a soft goal to concede for Sweden.

Timo Werner cuts the ball back and Marco Reus comes in from the far post and steers it in to the bottom left corner. It's the best ball Germany have put in the box.
