#4 Germany's change of strategy in the second half
Joachim Low had to change something to spark a second-half comeback. And it was his substitution at the break that changed the complexion of the game. Julian Draxler went off and on came Mario Gomez. Germany struggled to get behind Sweden's low block in the first half and missed a focal point up front.

Gomez provided exactly that. Timo Werner was shifted to the left who then had a hand in both the German goals. His pace gave right back Mikael Lustig nightmares and was key in getting past him and putting crosses into the box.
Low made quite a few changes after the loss to Mexico but shifting Werner out wide paid the most dividends. This again brings up the exclusion of Leroy Sane. How good the youngster had been on the left flank against a retreating, low on confidence Mikael Lustig!
