FULL-TIME. Sweden started today in third place - now they top the group. Former group leaders Mexico go through in second place despite being trounced here. It would be difficult to say these teams didn't deserve to progress, even if just on the basis of this thoroughly entertaining encounter. Thank you so much for your company this afternoon.

There's plenty of noise in the crowd - because the Mexico fans have heard that Germany are LOSING and are OUT OF THE WORLD CUP, and they are THROUGH!

Another biff of an elbow in poor Toivonen's head, this one from Layun.

Credit to Mexico, mind, they're still looking for a goal back here. Olsen is commanding his area.

Vela pings in a central free kick - but hits the wall.

GOAL! That's it, surely? And that's an own goal from Albarez. Long throw nodded on, and Alvarez flails under pressure from Forsberg.

So. If all the results stay the same, both these teams are going through. And Germany are not.

Probably best that Berg is withdrawn after those blows to the head.

Berg's taken another elbow to the back of the head and is having some treatment.
66'
Fabian takes a shot from distance and is claiming it took a deflection, although none of the officials have noticed.
