Saturday's action was filled with late goals once again, and one of them had a major impact. Toni Kroos bagged Germany's winner over Sweden in the final minutes, curling home a wonderful free-kick.

Fans and pundits were ecstatic:

Germany's bid to repeat had been hanging by a thread since Ola Toivonen had opened the scoring, and after Jerome Boateng was sent off, a 1-1 draw seemed inevitable. Marco Reus had tied things up early in the second half, and it took until the injury time for Kroos to work his magic.

South Korea were soundly beaten by El Tri but gave the CONCACAF side a late scare through Son Heung-min. He too scored a beauty, curling home from outside the box. Unfortunately for his side, they ran out of time, and Mexico hung on for the win.

Carlos Vela and Javier Hernandez did the scoring for El Tri, and for the latter, the goal came on a special day:

In the day's opener, Belgium sent a clear warning sign to the other top contenders with a thrashing of Tunisia. The Red Devils scored five but could have bagged a lot more goals if Michy Batshuayi's aim had been a little better.

England is expected to beat Panama on Sunday, setting up a showdown for the top spot in the group between the two European sides. They might both opt to rest their starters, however, as some of the other groups have seen their top teams struggle―finishing in first place may not be crucial, or even beneficial.
