Sweden booked their place in the knockout stages of the World Cup after being Mexico 3-0 in their final game.

Goals from Ludwig Augustinsson and Andreas Granqvist, and an Juan Alvarez own-goal, secured victory for the impressive Swedes who now top Group F.

Because of Germany's shock 2-0 defeat by South Korea, Mexico also progress after finishing second in the group.
