Reigning champions Germany have been knocked out of the World Cup after being beaten 2-0 by South Korea in Kazan.
With Sweden beating Mexico 3-0, the Germans needed three points to progress to the knockout stages.
But up against a stubborn South Korean side, the world champions failed to find a winning goal and, after Kim Young-gwon and Son Heung-Min's late goal, now head home after the group stages for the first time since 1938.
So how did the two teams fare? See the gallery below for our player ratings.

World Cup: South Korea vs Germany player ratings Moon Seon-min - 7/10 Worked like a racehorse down the left, sprinting back and forth all day. His only negative was holding onto the ball too long near Germany's goal

World Cup: South Korea vs Germany player ratings Marco Reus - 6/10 Tried his best to create chances all over the pitch but came up against a determined South Korean side
