Manchester City veteran Ilkay Gundogan praised Germany goalscorer Niclas Fullkrug after their draw with Spain on Sunday.
Fullkrug struck late to cancel out Alvaro Morata's opener.
Gundogan said later: "We could've scored earlier. We scored but unfortunately it was disallowed.
"We had really good chances and if you look at the chances we were a little bit better but in the end the result was fair against a very tough Spain side. Now it's all about the last game of the group stage.
"It's crazy. A competition like the World Cup and playing such a tournament you already know it's going to be dramatic. Some games are full of different momentums - up and down.
"I was on the bench talking to Thomas Muller and we felt there was a goal for us. The finish from Niclas was unbelievable, a typical striker's finish and he stood up when we really needed it."
