Match Commentary

93'
Germany are into the last eight for the 15th time. Podolski's two early goals, followed by Lucic's red card, sealed it before half time. The hosts were excellent, the Swedes hugely disappointing.
92'
Germany are in cruise control with Ballack at the heart of everything as they pass the ball around with such ease.
91'
Three added minutes are signalled, and spare a thought for Larsson. His excellent Sweden career is set to end in anti-climax.
