:00:40. > :00:41.replay. Tonight 's group -- game comes from Group H, Algeria against
:00:42. > :01:01.South Korea with Martin Fisher. These sides are not as prolific.
:01:02. > :01:18.They stick to the sides that drew 1-1.
:01:19. > :01:26.Lisa Lee Yong played in South Africa four years ago. A slight tactical
:01:27. > :01:31.adjustment with a switch of roles, while Park Ji Sung is expected to
:01:32. > :01:43.play behind some young men. It was the other way round on Tuesday.
:01:44. > :01:51.The youngest referee in the competition, 34 years of age, and
:01:52. > :01:55.also at the Olympics at 2012 where he oversaw their win over Great
:01:56. > :02:11.Britain. A new look Algerian side as there
:02:12. > :02:27.are five changes. Including Mesbah, as Brahimi comes in for only his
:02:28. > :02:32.seventh cap. Slim Marney -- Slimani will be getting a start. It means a
:02:33. > :02:39.more attacking formation with Bruguera and Halliche at the back.
:02:40. > :02:40.Bentaleb and Feghouli are looking support -- to support the striker,
:02:41. > :02:59.Slim Marney. -- Slimani. The younger Korean squad. And
:03:00. > :03:16.Algeria's squad contains 17 players born in France.
:03:17. > :03:24.This national hero won bronze at the Olympics two years ago for the
:03:25. > :03:30.Korean Republic. The Algerian coach looking to make history by guiding
:03:31. > :03:31.the team into the last 16 of the World Cup the first time their
:03:32. > :04:07.history. -- for the first time. We always expected this group to be
:04:08. > :04:13.tied. Belgium have quickly earned their place in the last 16 -- to be
:04:14. > :04:18.tight. Now South Korea, in red, and Algeria in all-white, have a
:04:19. > :04:19.fantastic opportunity to put themselves in pole position above
:04:20. > :04:40.Russia in second spot. A long ball downfield, dealt with by
:04:41. > :04:48.Bruguera -- book error -- Bougherra.
:04:49. > :04:51.Three central defenders today for Algeria, three players who are
:04:52. > :05:08.comfortable in that role. The little backheel that Mesbah will
:05:09. > :05:12.try to move along. Korea Republic are shaky at the moment, and an
:05:13. > :05:21.early opportunity blazed over by Feghouli. He was the one who got the
:05:22. > :05:25.goal in Algeria's only -- opening game, and a bright start here. He
:05:26. > :05:30.needed no second invitation to get a shot away. It was always rising. But
:05:31. > :05:35.no bad thing to have a crack at goal so early on.
:05:36. > :05:46.That goal that he scored against Belgium on Tuesday was Algeria's
:05:47. > :05:50.first World Cup goal since 1986. Maybe they have the scent of goals
:05:51. > :05:55.in their nostrils. There will be nerves out on the pitch. Such a
:05:56. > :05:56.vital game for both sets of players. Bentaleb is brought down. Another
:05:57. > :06:12.free kick for Algeria. Good skills from the youngster, only
:06:13. > :06:19.19 years of age, made his international debut in March,
:06:20. > :06:24.Bentaleb. Goalkeeper trying to organise his defence. The Korea
:06:25. > :06:31.Republic brought everybody back to defend this. Brahimi is over it.
:06:32. > :06:35.A clutch of bodies on the edge of the penalty area. Brahimi culls one
:06:36. > :06:59.in. Not enough weight on it. Mesbah. Forced back by Lee
:07:00. > :07:27.Chung-yong. Brought down nicely. Held up by Lee
:07:28. > :07:38.Yong. Mesbah. That was neat. Brahimi. Ignoring jab you, and Korea
:07:39. > :07:45.Republic look far from convincing. Shouts were a penalty. The chance
:07:46. > :07:48.drops by Brahimi, -- shouts for a penalty. They are still appealing
:07:49. > :07:55.for the penalty, one or two of the Algerians. In the previous games we
:07:56. > :08:03.have had a penalty kicks. France against Honduras, and Australia
:08:04. > :08:07.against the Netherlands. A clumsy challenge, and a good opportunity
:08:08. > :08:11.for Brahimi, but that, to me looks a good shout, Kim Jong long with the
:08:12. > :08:16.challenge. He was caught with the ball very
:08:17. > :08:31.close with -- to him. It might have been Feghouli, looking
:08:32. > :08:52.at that again. Medjani with the foul.
:08:53. > :09:09.The Korea Republic yet to settle down. Five minutes on the clock.
:09:10. > :09:12.Korea Republic with some Gazans of relief not having the penalty
:09:13. > :09:27.against them. -- gasps of relief. Bougherra back to Mbolhi. Not the
:09:28. > :09:35.greatest clearance I've ever seen. In a tussle trying to regain
:09:36. > :09:48.possession. Showed too much of that to Brahimi.
:09:49. > :10:00.The man from the Olympic team of two years ago, and there is the
:10:01. > :10:04.colourful coach of Algeria. The coach Doug Ivory Coast at the World
:10:05. > :10:09.Cup finals four years ago, but he was sacked before the competition
:10:10. > :10:21.got underway -- the coach took Ivory Coast to the World Cup. Bougherra.
:10:22. > :10:27.Now Halliche. We did know that Algeria would play with a three-man
:10:28. > :10:32.defence today, but it looks like more a back four to me. Lee Yong is
:10:33. > :10:43.the culprit. Once again, Bougherra and Halliche
:10:44. > :11:16.coming up from the back to lend their support to Slim Marney and
:11:17. > :11:26.others in white. Bentaleb has a swing. Algeria Apple -- happy to
:11:27. > :11:31.settle for the corner. Brahimi, only his seventh cap for Algeria today,
:11:32. > :11:36.with a corner kick. Bougherra and Halliche still in the box.
:11:37. > :11:43.Brahimi's delivery is a good one. It's better dealt with by the Korea
:11:44. > :11:49.Republic. Son Heung-min completing the clearance. Positive start from
:11:50. > :11:51.the Africans. They got the better of Burkina Faso in their play-off game,
:11:52. > :11:55.sneaking through on the away Burkina Faso in their play-off game,
:11:56. > :11:59.sneaking goals rule, losing the first leg away, 3-2. This fellow,
:12:00. > :12:10.Bougherra, scored the only goal of a home game to clinch their part.
:12:11. > :12:13.Another corner. -- their path. Slimani takes his position in and
:12:14. > :12:19.around the six yard box. He turned 26 years of age the other day, and
:12:20. > :12:22.no guesses as to what he wants a birthday present today. Five in the
:12:23. > :12:32.box for Algeria. That is deep. Into the side netting. One or two
:12:33. > :12:35.Algerians in the crowd thought it might have leaked in the post.
:12:36. > :13:00.Managed to find a bit of room. Halliche, from Mesbah. Slimani
:13:01. > :13:19.underneath it. Surprised and disappointed to see
:13:20. > :13:28.the referee indicate that the throw was going the way of the Korea
:13:29. > :13:34.Republic. They had a dreadful qualifying campaign, squeezing
:13:35. > :13:37.through on goal difference over Uzbekistan, and their coach resigned
:13:38. > :13:41.at the end of the campaign, having used 45 players at the end of it,
:13:42. > :13:47.and then they then turned to the national hero, who guided his team
:13:48. > :13:52.to an Olympic bronze 12 months earlier. Just to see if he could
:13:53. > :14:02.make a better fist of doing well in Brazil. In comparison to the man
:14:03. > :14:06.that charge of getting them here. -- with the charge. Bougherra was too
:14:07. > :14:12.casual, and Korea the public come forward.
:14:13. > :14:16.casual, and Korea the public come way into the penalty area. He is
:14:17. > :14:24.marshalled out of play superbly. That was Madjid Bougherra. It was
:14:25. > :14:43.his earlier error, but see how he guides into the site. The clearance
:14:44. > :14:48.will drop here. Running against Bougherra. He has done well here.
:14:49. > :15:02.Bougherra again, masterful at the back.
:15:03. > :15:30.Lee Chung-yong. Turning into trouble, but they get the free kick.
:15:31. > :15:32.Challenged by Brahimi. Second piece of excellent defending from Madjid
:15:33. > :15:53.Bougherra. Captain against the captain. You might be tested here.
:15:54. > :16:01.Lee Song Young over this. First to the loosed -- loose ball will be Son
:16:02. > :16:04.Heung-min. For waiting in the Centre for the Korea Republic. Header away
:16:05. > :16:23.by Mesbah for Algeria. Bentaleb. Medjani. Lovely turn.
:16:24. > :16:42.Running away from his colleague rather than turning towards the
:16:43. > :16:46.ball. Away by Bougherra. Stab away. It's taken them a while to get into
:16:47. > :16:53.their group, the Korea Republic, but more encouraging signs now. Son
:16:54. > :17:01.Heung-min via Leverkusen making steady before the intervention -- of
:17:02. > :17:07.buyer Leverkusen. First corner of the game for the Korea Republic.
:17:08. > :17:20.Key Song Young to Whippet Inn near post, punched away by Mbolhi. -- to
:17:21. > :17:35.which it away. Well played by Lee Yong.
:17:36. > :17:40.Algeria have only managed two victories in their previous ten
:17:41. > :17:45.matches at the World Cup finals. Their last was back in 1982 when
:17:46. > :17:53.they had already beaten West Germany and went on to beat Chile before
:17:54. > :17:57.their cruel exit with the controversial fixture between
:17:58. > :18:05.Austria and West Germany. Where they contrived to concoct a 1-0 success
:18:06. > :18:08.for West Germany, which saw both sides go through at the expense of
:18:09. > :18:18.Algeria. Forward, the Korea Republic. Now young Suk-young.
:18:19. > :18:53.Lee Yong Yong. Struggling to keep it in.
:18:54. > :19:05.Slimani. He has over here that. -- he has overheat bad.
:19:06. > :19:24.Brahimi didn't do him any favours. Hong Jeong-ho. Song Young men.
:19:25. > :19:44.Mesbah filed -- for Algeria. Halliche.
:19:45. > :19:50.Only his third appearance for his country, didn't make his first
:19:51. > :19:57.appearance until March, one of those players born in France. Algeria are
:19:58. > :20:03.reversing the trend at the moment that saw their players born in
:20:04. > :20:09.Algeria, then going on to star for France, and then -- like is injured
:20:10. > :20:15.in Saddam, and a certain Caryn Benzema, who has rattled in some
:20:16. > :21:02.goals -- Zinedane Zidane. The 30th World Cup match for the
:21:03. > :21:13.Korea Republic, the most of any Asian teen. Teen. Japan the next
:21:14. > :21:17.with 26. But only five wins. Their most successful World Cup campaign
:21:18. > :21:22.came on home soil when they reached the semifinals some 12 years ago.
:21:23. > :21:31.Another free kick conceded by Algeria. Kook-young the man broke
:21:32. > :21:44.down -- brought down. Bougherra nods it away without any
:21:45. > :22:31.great pressure on him. Surrounded by a red shirts. Held it
:22:32. > :22:45.up well. Well, he is nicknamed as the
:22:46. > :22:54.Algerian Lionel Messi. A left footed player, very tricky.
:22:55. > :24:14.Bougherra. Slimani waits in the centre. Great ball. Slimani. Just
:24:15. > :24:19.too far ahead of him. And Korea Republic and able to get it away.
:24:20. > :24:35.That was a fabulous cross. And it very nearly paved an opening for
:24:36. > :24:55.Slimani. Halliche. Mesbah of years gone for the and dashed -- over at
:24:56. > :25:08.it was just able to get to the heart stop. He was able to get it clear.
:25:09. > :25:08.And he has brought in at right back for their quality deliveries from
:25:09. > :25:21.the flanks. And the man fouled will take this
:25:22. > :25:48.free kick. Taken away by the goalkeeper. He is
:25:49. > :26:00.happy to settle for the throw. Mandi again for all able to it that. Over
:26:01. > :26:32.the crossbar. Snatched up the opportunity.
:26:33. > :27:10.Played by Lee Chung-yong. Lovely control by Slimani. Again, Mesbah.
:27:11. > :27:38.Djabou. That was a good tackle. On the far side, Yun Suk-young.
:27:39. > :27:44.Korea Republic have managed only one win in their past six games and that
:27:45. > :27:46.was in March against Greece. In six games they have only scored in a
:27:47. > :28:33.couple of them. Here is Lee Yong. Bentaleb. Mesbah.
:28:34. > :28:40.Bentaleb again. That was poor. And looking for Son Heung-min. Not able
:28:41. > :28:48.to pick him out though. An impressive start to proceedings.
:28:49. > :29:02.Defensively and defensively. Slimani. Djabou. He wants it played
:29:03. > :29:13.over the top and he is offside. It was a smart run. He spotted it. And
:29:14. > :29:21.by the time the pass was made, he was just inches ahead of the right
:29:22. > :29:28.back, Lee Yong. I think he spotted him. Did not come down quick enough
:29:29. > :29:35.for him to get it through. At the moment, with 25 minutes gone, the
:29:36. > :29:36.Africans are just shading it. The goalkeeper has not been forced into
:29:37. > :29:44.Africans are just shading it. The any great activity as of yet.
:29:45. > :30:00.Looking to release Slimani. And he is quick. Between the defenders
:30:01. > :30:08.here. Goal, Algeria! Slimani! He was their top scorer in qualifying. And
:30:09. > :30:20.he justifies the faith shown in him to be in from the start today.
:30:21. > :30:32.The early release from Medjani and Slimani able to get in between the
:30:33. > :30:41.defenders, struggling to cope with the bouncing ball. He just got the
:30:42. > :30:46.touch required here. And putting it past the goalkeeper, who would
:30:47. > :30:46.hoped his defenders would have dealt with it for
:30:47. > :30:53.hoped his defenders would have dealt strike rate that he has got for his
:30:54. > :30:57.country. That is 11 out of 27 appearances. It might be the
:30:58. > :31:07.platform for a famous Algerian victory. Brahimi with a chance and
:31:08. > :31:14.the deflection has taken it wide. Korea Republic at the moment are all
:31:15. > :31:18.over the place at the back. Brahimi forced wide. The deflection took it
:31:19. > :31:52.further wide. Third corner, Algeria. The keeper
:31:53. > :31:53.has missed it. 2-0! Halliche. Algeria
:31:54. > :31:58.has missed it. 2-0! Halliche. two goals in two minutes.
:31:59. > :32:01.has missed it. 2-0! Halliche. the second goal he has ever scored
:32:02. > :32:11.for his country and his first in more than four years. And what an
:32:12. > :32:15.important one it might be. The goalkeeper was caught in no man's
:32:16. > :32:22.land. He waited for it to arrive into his fist. By the time it almost
:32:23. > :32:55.got there, he had powered it home, Halliche.
:32:56. > :33:00.I am not sure if there were any, but if they had had any nerves,
:33:01. > :33:04.recalling the fact that if they had had any nerves,
:33:05. > :33:08.front at around about the same time against Belgium on shoes date, only
:33:09. > :33:13.for the Belgians to come back and defeat them 2-1, those nerves have
:33:14. > :33:23.quickly been disbursed with a very speedy second strike. -- Belgium on
:33:24. > :33:35.Tuesday. That clearance was poor. But so was the attempt at control by
:33:36. > :33:45.Lee Chung-yong. Just a bit sloppy, Algeria, with their passing in the
:33:46. > :33:54.past minute or so. Looking for the run of Lee Yong. But it was a badly
:33:55. > :34:13.placed pass. And a problem here for Slimani.
:34:14. > :34:25.Fantastic scenes away to my right. They cannot quite take it in. First,
:34:26. > :34:28.Slimani and then Halliche. Ever present four years ago when they did
:34:29. > :34:36.not score in three games in South Africa. And they have just scored
:34:37. > :34:41.their third goal of this campaign. And it is a scoreline at the moment
:34:42. > :35:03.that puts them in the driving seat, to make the last 16.
:35:04. > :35:11.It has set up a fascinating contest on Thursday when they take on the
:35:12. > :35:17.Russians. A draw would be enough to see them through. They are, we are
:35:18. > :35:24.in danger of getting ahead of ourselves. There is a long way to go
:35:25. > :35:31.in this game yet. Trying to work a shooting opportunity, possibly. And
:35:32. > :35:44.he will cross. And it is hacked away by Halliche four Algeria. -- around
:35:45. > :35:47.your area. -- for the Algerians. These are the statistics that
:35:48. > :35:54.Algeria have enjoyed. Conceding a free kick here. Mystified by that
:35:55. > :35:58.decision, this player. What they cannot afford to do, the North
:35:59. > :36:06.Africans, is allow Korea Republic back into the game. I am sure their
:36:07. > :36:17.coach will be hoping that between now and half-time they will have
:36:18. > :36:25.retained a clean sheet. Algeria have brought everybody back. And it has
:36:26. > :36:43.been poached away by M'Bolhi and headed away.
:36:44. > :37:00.The goals keep on coming at the World Cup 2014. 86 now. Brahimi.
:37:01. > :37:19.Djabou. Brahimi again. Djabou to his left
:37:20. > :37:31.again. Waiting in the centre. Supported, to Whippet Inn. -- to get
:37:32. > :37:41.it in. He is underneath it. Lee Yong. Son Heung-min. Yun Suk-young.
:37:42. > :37:45.Quick to get bodies back behind the ball. They are forcing Korea
:37:46. > :38:10.Republic back. Hong Jeong-ho. Ki Sung-Yeung. Korea Republic are
:38:11. > :38:15.just trying to draw Algeria towards them. And make pockets of space
:38:16. > :38:22.between the midfield and the back four. It is not working. Algeria are
:38:23. > :38:29.not falling for it. They are retaining their structure. He might
:38:30. > :39:07.steal it away from him. Yun Suk-young. Bougherra steps in.
:39:08. > :39:12.Feghouli. Brahimi. There is a real confidence about Algeria now. And
:39:13. > :39:20.why not? Leading 2-0, ten minutes from half-time, in command of the
:39:21. > :39:33.situation and looking set to qualify with one game to go. They are
:39:34. > :39:36.looking to deprive of what they expected to be their place in the
:39:37. > :39:47.last 16, Russia. Strayed into an offside position. Mandi once it
:39:48. > :40:09.back. Slimani makes his move in the box. They have settled for a
:40:10. > :40:16.Korea Republic with four defenders and a goalkeeper in the six yard box
:40:17. > :40:30.and Algeria have only got one, they have got to now -- they have got a
:40:31. > :40:41.couple now. Cleared by Djabou. Fabulous work. And still going. He
:40:42. > :40:42.has lost his footing. There was some interference from a Korean boot in
:40:43. > :40:53.that movement. The Algerian form coming into the
:40:54. > :41:04.World Cup was pretty good, winning three in a row including a success
:41:05. > :41:14.against Romania. A good test for them. It is going to come down to
:41:15. > :41:30.Slimani. A chance for 3-0 and it is. 3-0, Algeria! Djabou. Unbelievable
:41:31. > :41:36.scenes in Porto Alegre. This was supposed to be a tight contest. But
:41:37. > :41:44.Algeria have roared into a 3-0 lead and we have not yet reached
:41:45. > :41:49.half-time. Again, bad defending by Korea Republic and again, good work
:41:50. > :41:53.by Slimani. And the key to the goal, taking it early. And before the
:41:54. > :42:05.goalkeeper had settled himself, it was passed him. -- it was passed
:42:06. > :42:09.him. -- it was through him. Algeria taking a firm grip on the second
:42:10. > :43:00.spot in Group H. What a masterstroke, a couple of the
:43:01. > :43:08.players he has brought in from the start today have hit the back of the
:43:09. > :43:12.net. Korea Republic looking shell-shocked. They might get an
:43:13. > :43:24.opening themselves here. It has quickly been closed down. Algeria
:43:25. > :43:29.stealing the game. Lee Chung-yong. Korea Republic desperately need
:43:30. > :43:30.something on the scoresheet before half-time but they are not going to
:43:31. > :43:51.get it here. Slimani. Djabou. Bad news for the fans of Korea
:43:52. > :44:00.Republic, they have never scored more than a couple in their previous
:44:01. > :44:02.29 World Cup matches. And the truth be told today, they have not looked
:44:03. > :44:16.like scoring one. In their brief World Cup history,
:44:17. > :44:19.the finest performance of Algeria was at their very first
:44:20. > :44:32.involvement, defeating West Germany 2-1. This will sit alongside that.
:44:33. > :44:33.Particularly if it paves the pathway to a historic involvement in the
:44:34. > :46:03.knockout stages. Feghouli just tripped from behind
:46:04. > :46:24.here. By Park Chu-young. It was on this day, some 24 years
:46:25. > :46:26.ago that a certain Diego Maradona walked past English defenders to
:46:27. > :46:31.score arguably the best goal in the World Cup finals. And he was amongst
:46:32. > :46:35.those saying keep and I had four Algeria in this tournament. Might be
:46:36. > :46:59.better than we expected. 3-0 league lead. -- leading. It is their fifth
:47:00. > :47:10.corner. Headed away by Kim Young-gwon. Slimani goes wide. He
:47:11. > :47:16.usually does his damage when coming on as a substitute, Slimani. Ten
:47:17. > :47:36.goals this season for Sporting Lisbon. Medjani. Slimani. Picked

:50:34. > :50:37.will chase. Pretty nip and tuck for the Korea Republic against Russia on
:50:38. > :50:42.Tuesday. They took the lead but could only hold on for six minutes
:50:43. > :50:43.before the Russians scrambled an equaliser. They have been blown away

:52:29. > :52:45.just to put a seed of doubt in the minds of those. Remember earlier
:52:46. > :52:53.today, Belgian adding a late winner against Russia. A victory that means
:52:54. > :53:09.that they will definitely be involved in the last 16. He has

:54:37. > :54:45.untroubled in the first half. Asking for two in the wall. The Korea
:54:46. > :54:47.Republic with six in the box. A further two on the edge for the
:54:48. > :55:19.pull-back. Too much jostling for the referee 's
:55:20. > :55:46.liking. Finally ready. After all that, very disappointing delivery,
:55:47. > :55:56.easily cleared by Bentaleb. The assistant referee saw something
:55:57. > :56:06.wrong with that. Key Song Young. Mistake from Algeria, and a goal.
:56:07. > :56:09.Son Heung-min with it. Korea Republic perhaps see a glimmer of an
:56:10. > :56:27.opportunity here to get back into this one. Their first shot at goal
:56:28. > :56:32.brings them a goal. The error by Bougherra, Hoover once got it wrong,
:56:33. > :56:39.and it is a smart finish from Son Heung-min. -- who for once got it
:56:40. > :56:44.wrong. The golden boy. The golden boy of the football world in Korea

:56:49. > :56:53.opportunity, throwing the dummy, and then through the legs of the
:56:54. > :57:16.goalkeeper. Korea Republic maybe, just maybe, back in business.
:57:17. > :58:11.Feghouli from Algeria. The foul committed by the goal-scorer for
:58:12. > :58:16.Korea Republic, Son Heung-min. Medjani looking to make a run
:58:17. > :58:23.Bougherra in there as well. Straight at the goalkeeper.
:58:24. > :58:35.The flag stays down. Son Heung-min, in behind the Algerian rearguard.
:58:36. > :58:42.There are two waiting in the box. Eventually the cross goes in.
:58:43. > :58:48.Offside flag. It is raised against Koo Ja-cheol. Suddenly it is the
:58:49. > :59:01.Algerian defence that is looking hesitant and wobbly. Just straying
:59:02. > :59:07.into an offside position. It wouldn't have counted had he managed
:59:08. > :59:17.to steer it in at the goalkeeper's left-hand post. They need to dig in
:59:18. > :59:22.here. They have to keep the back door shut for a little while. Just
:59:23. > :59:32.to deny any hope for Korea Republic. Brahimi.
:59:33. > :59:48.Bentaleb. Mesbah is looking very one footed, but he finally finds his
:59:49. > :59:53.Bentaleb. Mesbah is looking very one with his right. And Bentaleb, from
:59:54. > :59:59.left-back again. Mesbah. Clumsy challenge from Lee Yong. That is the
:00:00. > :00:05.first yellow card of the afternoon for the right back for Korea
:00:06. > :00:10.Republic, Lee Yong. He shares his name with a very famous Korean pop
:00:11. > :00:26.star, but fewer people clamour him for his autograph. Bentaleb.
:00:27. > :00:57.Feghouli. Korea Republic have failed to get
:00:58. > :01:07.through the group stages at six of their eight World Cup. Their only
:01:08. > :01:11.successes were on home soil for years ago when I lost in the last 16
:01:12. > :01:27.to Uruguay. They have given themselves a mountain to climb after
:01:28. > :01:36.that awful first half display. Ki Sung Yong. Trying to get the
:01:37. > :01:39.left-back in. There was a handball possibly against Bougherra. The
:01:40. > :01:44.referee was well placed and did not see anything amiss, but it will be a
:01:45. > :01:52.Korea Republic corner. Let's look at this again. As the defender comes
:01:53. > :02:12.across, he felt it struck me elbow. Punched away by Mbolhi. A corner
:02:13. > :02:20.kick that almost caught out Algeria. Five African nations here in
:02:21. > :02:26.Brazil. Ivory Coast are well placed. Ghana are in trouble. Cameroon are
:02:27. > :02:38.out. And if Algeria can improve this... Slim mainly -- Slim Marney.
:02:39. > :02:43.They have a chance to get through the last 16 the first time. What an
:02:44. > :02:47.achievement that would be for African football. Korea Republic
:02:48. > :02:52.will make a change shortly. It is Kim Shin-wook ready to come on. In
:02:53. > :03:03.the meantime, it is Lee Yong. Battling to regain possession, and
:03:04. > :03:11.they have done well to win a free kick, Korea Republic. Quickly taken.
:03:12. > :03:14.Algeria very nearly caught out. That's the second occasion in the
:03:15. > :03:24.second half that they have been caught out by quickly take on set
:03:25. > :03:32.pieces by Korea Republic. And again, it's going to be Park Chu-young who
:03:33. > :03:39.makes way early in the second half, and this time it is going to be
:03:40. > :03:46.number 18, Kim Shin-wook, 6'5" tall, and maybe his height will be
:03:47. > :03:47.that route that they take to try and clamber their way back into the
:03:48. > :04:02.contest. A long way to go, but a good
:04:03. > :05:36.interception by Feghouli. Brahimi. Another touch by Bougherra. -- into
:05:37. > :05:47.touch by Bougherra. Son Heung-min, taking them all on. Worked his way
:05:48. > :05:54.into the penalty area. Key Sung Yong, who can hit them, and he has.
:05:55. > :06:00.A great save by Mbolhi. -- Ki Sung Yong. Such power in the effort from
:06:01. > :06:08.Ki Sung Yong. And Mbolhi gets his hand up and across and tipped it
:06:09. > :06:20.over. Another quickly take on set piece. Lee Chung-yong's cross is
:06:21. > :06:26.charged down. Korea Republic were looking for one back before the hour
:06:27. > :06:29.mark a nearly found to. At the moment, Algeria cannot keep
:06:30. > :06:48.possession. They cannot get out of their own half.
:06:49. > :07:03.It will drop here for Koo Ja-cheol. Ki Sung Yong. Trying to get away
:07:04. > :07:06.from Bentaleb. In goes the cross. Bougherra gets his head to it first.
:07:07. > :07:23.And the free kick is conceded. There is the effort that was
:07:24. > :07:28.brilliantly cleared off the line. Mbolhi was caught off-guard. Korea
:07:29. > :07:37.Republic has had enough chances in the second half already to be level
:07:38. > :07:41.at 3-3. We have seen just about everything already at this World
:07:42. > :07:51.Cup, so many comebacks, and this would be the comeback of all.
:07:52. > :08:15.Koo Ja-cheol, strongly forward for Kim Shin-wook. Composure in the
:08:16. > :08:23.Algerian defence. Feghouli. What a fabulous goal! Yacine Brahimi. And
:08:24. > :08:49.the 3-goal advantage is restored. It was the first time Algeria had
:08:50. > :08:56.threatened in the second half. Feghouli initially involved, then
:08:57. > :09:04.Brahimi. And it is such a composed finish. Yacine Brahimi, his
:09:05. > :09:09.first-ever international goal. Another of those players brought in
:09:10. > :09:23.by the manager from the offset today. A player who was kept at U21
:09:24. > :09:30.level for France, and now places international football for Algeria,
:09:31. > :09:42.and Mike, were they happy to have him on board. Korea Republic have it
:09:43. > :09:56.all to do again. Algeria, the first African nation to
:09:57. > :10:02.score four goals at a World Cup finals.
:10:03. > :10:11.The way this game is going, you don't feel that the scoring has
:10:12. > :10:17.halted as yet. Korea Republic are going to make their second change,
:10:18. > :10:23.and this time it will be Lee Yong homecoming on, the man who put them
:10:24. > :10:42.in front against Russia on Tuesday. He is going to replace Lee
:10:43. > :10:56.Chung-yong. One leave for another. -- one Lee for another.
:10:57. > :11:03.The clearance by Bentaleb. Yong Suk-young the last man back for
:11:04. > :11:19.Korea Republic. What a body blow for Korea Republic
:11:20. > :11:32.to suffer there. Came out with such appetite in the
:11:33. > :11:43.second half, and an early goal to give them life. The clearance of the
:11:44. > :12:40.line. -- off the line. We could have been 3-3, instead it is 4-1. Brahimi
:12:41. > :13:26.the fourth goal scorer for Algeria. Uncharacteristic error by Brahimi.
:13:27. > :13:29.Son Heung-min to take it. Six in their looking to attack this,
:13:30. > :14:22.including the giant Kim Shin-wook. Korea Republic could do with him on
:14:23. > :14:26.the pitch. On this very day, 12 years ago, he scored the decisive
:14:27. > :14:39.penalty in a quarterfinal shoot out victory over Spain. Is the shout
:14:40. > :14:44.from his goalkeeper, and he leaves well alone. -- he hears of the shout
:14:45. > :15:12.from his goalkeeper. Kim Shin-wook is beginning to win
:15:13. > :15:18.everything in the air. Bentaleb. Medjani.
:15:19. > :15:31.Bentaleb was caught and has stayed down, but the referee is
:15:32. > :15:33.Algeria the chance to play the advantage. But he has not escaped
:15:34. > :16:58.the yellow. error. And just looking around, you
:16:59. > :17:05.would not guess that Korea Republic were losing because their fans are
:17:06. > :17:13.joining in with the Algerians. Just enjoying the occasion. If not the
:17:14. > :17:15.scoreline. Slimani has been a handful all afternoon and he has got
:17:16. > :17:45.Algeria a free kick here. Ghilas getting his instructions from
:17:46. > :17:52.his coach. Before entering the fray. Bougherra's free kick. Looking for
:17:53. > :18:27.Djabou. Surrounded and foul. Jung Suk-young. Followed by Kim
:18:28. > :18:40.Young-gwon. And this is a real chance. And it is another one back.
:18:41. > :18:58.4-2 now, in Porto Alegre. And it is all about the work here,
:18:59. > :19:03.working the back post. And it is not across the penalty area. -- taken
:19:04. > :19:16.across. From the knee of the captain, Koo Ja-cheol. And it is a
:19:17. > :19:27.second goal for Korea Republic. First change, Algeria. Djabou, who
:19:28. > :19:37.scored their third has not had much of a second-half. Tiring, maybe. And
:19:38. > :19:42.he is replaced by Ghilas, who plays for Porto, mainly as a sub. As
:19:43. > :19:48.played in the Champions League can be Europa League in his career. --
:19:49. > :19:49.he has played in the Champions League and the Europa League in his
:19:50. > :20:07.career. Son Heung-min has done well. He has
:20:08. > :20:19.picked out his team-mate. A decent delivery. Spectacularly and
:20:20. > :20:28.acrobatically turned over the bar. One for the cameras, that one. And
:20:29. > :20:44.in comes the latest Korea Republic corner. And he could not keep it
:20:45. > :21:35.down. That was his role in the goal. Across and stabbed home.
:21:36. > :21:41.Algeria are getting a second substitute ready down beneath us. It
:21:42. > :22:18.looks like Lacen. Ghilas. Still battling, still
:22:19. > :22:20.fighting. Looking for Slimani. Ki Sung-Yeung putting his foot down. He
:22:21. > :22:48.cannot shake him off. At the time it again. -- at the
:22:49. > :22:55.target again. Inside the last 15 minutes. Algeria will make their
:22:56. > :23:07.second change. And it is another of their goal-scorers, Brahimi, making
:23:08. > :23:20.way for Lacen. Another in their ranks, born in France. Brahimi is
:23:21. > :23:28.running on empty at the moment. Algeria need fresh legs into the
:23:29. > :23:30.middle of the park. Lacen was ever present at the World Cup finals four
:23:31. > :24:07.years ago. Slimani. Playing for the throw.
:24:08. > :24:11.Final change, Korea Republic. He has been booked, and he makes his way
:24:12. > :24:42.for Ji Dong-won. Plenty of strikers on the pitch now
:24:43. > :24:50.the Korea Republic. They still need couple-macro goals. -- they still
:24:51. > :24:55.need to goals. -- they still need a couple of goals. Some of the
:24:56. > :24:58.Algerian players looking up at the giant scoreboard at the other end of
:24:59. > :25:10.the ground checking to see how much time left to go. It has been a
:25:11. > :25:29.second half of difficulty for them. Able to keep it down.
:25:30. > :25:50.Koo Ja-cheol. Kim Young-gwon. Kim Shin-wook.
:25:51. > :26:35.Winning the free kick. Mesbah. Lacen.
:26:36. > :26:42.The Mexican wave around the stadium now. The fans have enjoyed the
:26:43. > :26:45.spectacle out there on the pitch and they are trying to add to it
:26:46. > :26:48.themselves as Korea they are trying to add to it
:26:49. > :26:59.for a couple of goals in the last ten minutes. They have got a free
:27:00. > :27:08.kick here. Lee Keun-ho making his way into the box. Kim Shin-wook is
:27:09. > :27:15.there already, as is the other sub, Ji Dong-won. Over this set piece,
:27:16. > :27:20.can Korea Republic score again to get within touching distance of
:27:21. > :27:39.Algeria? Not immediately. It will be a corner. Son Heung-min is ready to
:27:40. > :27:46.take it already. Taken away once more. Lee Keun-ho. Stabbed away by
:27:47. > :28:35.Mesbah. It is heading for number 18. He has
:28:36. > :28:43.got it again. Away by Mandi. Lacen struggling with the bounce as much
:28:44. > :28:52.as anything. Korea Republic can come again. Kim Young-gwon. Algeria have
:28:53. > :28:58.one man down with cramp on the halfway line. And sportingly one of
:28:59. > :29:07.the players from Korea Republic has gone across to apply some treatment.
:29:08. > :29:27.It was ten on ten for a second. Just calling for the ball to become dead.
:29:28. > :29:58.Algeria do have one more change still to make. And from the looks of
:29:59. > :30:04.this it is pretty clear that Slimani will not be able to continue. Robbie
:30:05. > :30:11.26-macro will come on. He set the ball rolling with the first of the
:30:12. > :30:15.six goals we have seen today. -- Belkalem will come on. Good
:30:16. > :30:19.determination and a smart finish. He knew what he had to do. Take it
:30:20. > :30:27.earlier than the goalkeeper anticipated. And that seems to have
:30:28. > :30:31.sent Algeria on their way to an emphatic triumph. 3-0 at half-time.
:30:32. > :30:37.Korea Republic coming back strongly in the second half. But still
:30:38. > :30:43.leading 4-2. Just over five minutes of normal time left to go. Slimani
:30:44. > :30:49.having had his treatment now wants to come back on. Play continues. Lee
:30:50. > :31:47.Chung-yong. He was attacking it. Koo Ja-cheol
:31:48. > :31:57.outnumbered. Ghilas has gone for the return, but the post is too strong.
:31:58. > :32:03.Next time it goes out of play, Algeria will make their final
:32:04. > :32:13.change. You can see Belkalem is ready to come on. Kim Shin-wook
:32:14. > :32:27.winning the free kick. He felt that he was being backed into.
:32:28. > :32:38.We have already seen a real parlour drive which the goalkeeper did
:32:39. > :32:52.really well to get something onto turnover. -- a real pilot driver. --
:32:53. > :32:56.a real driver. Down the need me, the Kirk -- the coach is turning to the
:32:57. > :33:00.Algeria supporters and telling them to increase the volume a little
:33:01. > :33:14.bit. They need this. Pushing for victory. But they are not quite
:33:15. > :33:27.there yet. Son Heung-min strikes the wall. Lee Yong. Hong Jeong-ho
:33:28. > :33:35.launching it towards the goal again. Three defenders. Recovers and clears
:33:36. > :33:43.into touch. He is furious with himself for not finding his man back
:33:44. > :33:51.post. Kim Young-gwon with the centre. A little drop here. And who
:33:52. > :34:02.is to say that would not have gone in? It ounce down ever so inviting
:34:03. > :34:17.me. -- went down. But not able to keep it on target.
:34:18. > :34:39.Ghilas will chase and he will get to it first. Lacen. Mesbah. Goal kick.
:34:40. > :34:54.No, corner given. Let's just see now, as Algeria make their change.
:34:55. > :34:57.It is going to be Bougherra making way, rather than Slimani who seems
:34:58. > :35:09.to have overcome his problems with cramp. Belkalem was with Watford in
:35:10. > :35:15.the English championship last season, on loan. Time is running out
:35:16. > :35:38.for Korea Republic. Forward by Hong Jeong-ho. Cleared by
:35:39. > :35:43.Halliche. I have got to hand it to Korea Republic. It has been a brave
:35:44. > :35:45.fight in the second. But unfortunately for them their hapless
:35:46. > :36:14.display in the first has given them too much to do.
:36:15. > :36:39.Lee Yong. Hong Jeong-ho. Kim Shin-wook. He has got it again.
:36:40. > :36:46.Medjani. He will settle for that. Free kick. As we get beyond 90
:36:47. > :37:00.minutes. Four minutes of added time left to come. Four minutes left the
:37:01. > :37:01.Korea Republic to find two goals. It has been an impressive recovery from
:37:02. > :37:52.cramp. Winning the throw. And for once it has not in taken by
:37:53. > :38:07.Kim Shin-wook. A seventh corner, the Korea Republic. They have got to
:38:08. > :38:12.score from it. Ki Sung-Yeung taking it. That was well taken. He clutches
:38:13. > :38:43.it to his body like a newborn baby. This was a big test for Algeria.
:38:44. > :38:46.They knew when they went out onto the turf, that if they lost this
:38:47. > :38:50.game they were out of the competition. And they have taken the
:38:51. > :38:57.game to Korea Republic from the outset. A couple of goals just
:38:58. > :39:02.before the first half-hour. The third coming just before half-time.
:39:03. > :39:07.And despite a vast informants from Korea Republic in the second-half,
:39:08. > :39:16.Algeria have done enough to hold on. -- performance. That was a good
:39:17. > :39:23.shout here for a penalty. A desperate fall to the ground. Hearts
:39:24. > :39:42.are in Melbourne is all around the stadium. -- are in malls. -- mouths.
:39:43. > :39:48.A theatrical tumble and a challenge. We have seen some soft penalties in
:39:49. > :39:53.this competition already. This is for Algeria. They are now trying to
