But I think we have shown a team spirit, despite Sweden  going ahead. "Of course that was a setback and we had to digest that first, but we  came back immediately and could have scored one or two more, but it was  that final finish, that final determination was missing. "Right now, that's firmly in the past. We set out to win and achieved it." Reus heaped praise on Real Madrid midfielder Kroos, who he teed up for the sensational winning goal in the dying seconds.Asked about his feelings after seeing the ball hit the net, Reus  said: "Of course, pure elation. We've seen a couple of times at this  World Cup in the last five minutes and particularly in stoppage time  quite a number of goals. "The fact that in the last 10 minutes we were trying to keep up  pressure, we were really eager to win this match and the fact that Toni  Kroos put it away like that is just incredible."He's shown that talent on previous occasions but it shows in this  case it was practically the last opportunity to win the match so I pay  my respect to him for doing what he did."A win over South Korea will now likely see Germany through to the  last 16 though all four sides in Group F are still in with a chance.</blockquote>
