Group C round-up:Germany lost their 100 per cent World Cup qualifying record in stunning fashion after Sweden roared back from four goals down to draw 4-4 in a Group C thriller. Miroslav Klose struck twice in the opening 15 minutes before defender Per Mertesacker made it 3-0.

Klose's goals were his 66th and 67th in international football, taking him within one strike of the country's all-time leading scorer Gerd Mueller. Midfielder Mesut Ozil added a fourth goal 11 minutes after the break, chesting down a Thomas Mueller cross before firing a wicked shot past goalkeeper Andreas Isaksson.

Sweden captain Zlatan Ibrahimovic launched the fightback with a brilliant header from a long pass by Kim Kallstrom in the 62nd minute. Mikael Lustig pulled another goal back before Johan Elmander cut Germany's lead to 4-3 in the 76th minute, hitting in a shot between defender Holger Badstuber's legs. Rasmus Elm then grabbed the equaliser just before the final whistle.

In tonight’s other match in the group, goals from Marc Janko (2), David Alaba amd Martin Harnik sealed a 4-0 win for Austria over Kazakhstan.
