FIFA WC 2014: Algeria hold Russia to 1-1 draw, move to final-16 for the first time

NEI India Film Editing Via Daily.Bhaskar New Delhi: Algeria came from one goal down to create history in the last match of group stages by qualifying for the knock-out stages of the World Cup for the first time ever. By drawing Russia 1-1, the Algerians also ensured that for the first time in World Cup’s history, two African nations go past the group stages- Nigeria being the other side. The draw means Algeria finish Group H on second position, behind Belgium, and will take on a strong German side in pre-quarters.

Russia needed win to secure their place in the last 16, and Fabio Capello’s men made the perfect start and took the lead in just six minutes. Oleg Shatov played a ball into the box from deep on the left-hand-side, which was expertly headed into the top corner by Alexander Kokorin.
However, that turned out to be the only occasion when Russians could get anything past the Algerian keeper. Raïs M'Bohli saved atleast three potential goals to keep Algeria in hunt, who needed a draw to go past Russia.
The breakthrough came in the 60th minute when Akinfeev flapped at Yacine Brahimi’s delivery from the left, allowing Slimani to head home the equaliser. It turned out to be the winner as by levelling scores, Algeria ensured an early exit for the 2018 hosts, even as Capello, the richest manager of the World Cup, was left fuming at the referees after the match.
