It's Been Four Years Since Toni Kroos' Sensational Free-Kick Inside The Box, Unseen Angle Emerges

Germany, having already lost their first game to Mexico, found themselves 1-0 down to an Ola Toivonen strike at the Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi.

Marco Reus levelled matters shortly after half-time but then Germany had Jerome Boateng sent off for a second yellow card in the 82nd minute and looked like they might have to settle for a point.

Enter Kroos. In the dying embers, Germany were awarded a free-kick on the left-hand side of the Sweden box and both he and Reus stood over the ball.

The Real Madrid midfielder is capable of a worldie or two but this was an acute angle and everything had to be perfect.

The individual brilliance secured a last-gasp win for Joachim Low's side. Years on from the strike, new, unseen footage has emerged and it makes you appreciate the goal even more.

With Sky Bet, Lee Robinson whacked a fiver on Mexico to beat South Korea 2-1 at 9/1, Romelu Lukaku to score twice for Belgium against Panama at 6/1, and Kroos to score from outside the box at 14/1.

Everything came in, or did it? Agonisingly, Kroos' effort, because of the lay-off from Reus, was scored inside the box and so the bet was not valid.

It remains one of the most unlucky bets we've ever seen.
