Goals from Tobias Hysen and Alexander Kacaniklic put the home side ahead in the FIFA World Cup qualifier at the Friends Arena.
However, a hat-trick from Andre Schurrle along with goals from Mesut Ozil and Mario Gotze were enough to ensure Germany ended their campaign unbeaten - despite Hysen completing a brace for the hosts.
"We were 2-0 behind, although we had plenty of possession and many chances." Low told the DFB website.
"[It is] good that we have made it 2-1 before the break. We have said that we win if we maintain the pace - and so it was."
Germany gained a measure of revenge on the Swedes, who were the only side to take points off them in Group C after drawing 4-4 in the reverse fixture.
"It's always nice when many goals are scored," he said.
"But the first half was funny. We had chances, but Sweden scored goals. I think we played very well - although a 5-3 is not a really good result. 2-0 would have been better."
