Joachim Low will be still reeling after his world champions suffered a shock group stage exit after losing to South Korea. Germany haven't looked the part all tournament and left themselves a lot of work to do in this fixture, a task that proved too great for them as Sweden's performance in the other Group F game put pressure on Die Mannschaft.
Poor conviction from Germany all game made it difficult for them to create chances as they lacked the efficient fluidity so synonymous with their play. The Germans were also wasteful with the chances they did create, hitting the target just six times from 28 attempts.
