Mexico is the only undefeated team remaining in Group F, but after Germany's comeback win over Sweden, El Tri will still need to get a result in its final match of the group stage to ensure that they make it through to the knockout round.

Germany breathed life into their 2018 World Cup campaign with a stoppage-time stunner from Toni Kroos to keep the team's hope of repeating as champions alive.

With Germany's win, Group F has fallen into chaos, with all four teams still alive heading into the final matchday of the group stage. Despite Mexico being the only undefeated remaining in the group, El Tri still has not yet punched its ticket yet to the knockout round.

Meanwhile, even South Korea, who have yet to steal a single point in the group, still isn't technically eliminated from the tournament. With just two matches remaining, the scenarios within Group F are still quite confounding - we did our best to break them down for you below.

Here is how each of the teams can advance to the knockout round:
