Germany head into their final World Cup group game against Costa Rica knowing they must win to have a chance of reaching the knockout stages.

Hansi Flick’s side must win, as well as Spain beating Japan on Thursday, for Germany to finish second in Group E behind their European rivals.

Germany come into this one on the back of their 1-1 draw against Spain, with Niclas Fullkrug’s 83rd minute goal earning them a crucial point.

Costa Rica, meanwhile, have bounced back from their disastrous 7-0 defeat against Spain in their opening group game.

They beat Japan 1-0 last time out and they’re in with a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages.

Costa Rica must beat Germany and hope that Spain better Japan or it finishes level in the other Group E game.
