replay. Tonight 's group -- game comes from Group H, Algeria against

:00:40.:00:41.

South Korea with Martin Fisher. These sides are not as prolific.

:00:42.:01:01.

They stick to the sides that drew 1-1.

:01:02.:01:18.

Lisa Lee Yong played in South Africa four years ago. A slight tactical

:01:19.:01:26.

adjustment with a switch of roles, while Park Ji Sung is expected to

:01:27.:01:31.

play behind some young men. It was the other way round on Tuesday.

:01:32.:01:43.

The youngest referee in the competition, 34 years of age, and

:01:44.:01:51.

also at the Olympics at 2012 where he oversaw their win over Great

:01:52.:01:55.

Britain. A new look Algerian side as there

:01:56.:02:11.

are five changes. Including Mesbah, as Brahimi comes in for only his

:02:12.:02:27.

seventh cap. Slim Marney -- Slimani will be getting a start. It means a

:02:28.:02:32.

more attacking formation with Bruguera and Halliche at the back.

:02:33.:02:39.

Bentaleb and Feghouli are looking support -- to support the striker,

:02:40.:02:40.

Slim Marney. -- Slimani. The younger Korean squad. And

:02:41.:02:59.

Algeria's squad contains 17 players born in France.

:03:00.:03:16.

This national hero won bronze at the Olympics two years ago for the

:03:17.:03:24.

Korean Republic. The Algerian coach looking to make history by guiding

:03:25.:03:30.

the team into the last 16 of the World Cup the first time their

:03:31.:03:31.

history. -- for the first time. We always expected this group to be

:03:32.:04:07.

tied. Belgium have quickly earned their place in the last 16 -- to be

:04:08.:04:13.

tight. Now South Korea, in red, and Algeria in all-white, have a

:04:14.:04:18.

fantastic opportunity to put themselves in pole position above

:04:19.:04:19.

Russia in second spot. A long ball downfield, dealt with by

:04:20.:04:40.

Bruguera -- book error -- Bougherra.

:04:41.:04:48.

Three central defenders today for Algeria, three players who are

:04:49.:04:51.

comfortable in that role. The little backheel that Mesbah will

:04:52.:05:08.

try to move along. Korea Republic are shaky at the moment, and an

:05:09.:05:12.

early opportunity blazed over by Feghouli. He was the one who got the

:05:13.:05:21.

goal in Algeria's only -- opening game, and a bright start here. He

:05:22.:05:25.

needed no second invitation to get a shot away. It was always rising. But

:05:26.:05:30.

no bad thing to have a crack at goal so early on.

:05:31.:05:35.

That goal that he scored against Belgium on Tuesday was Algeria's

:05:36.:05:46.

first World Cup goal since 1986. Maybe they have the scent of goals

:05:47.:05:50.

in their nostrils. There will be nerves out on the pitch. Such a

:05:51.:05:55.

vital game for both sets of players. Bentaleb is brought down. Another

:05:56.:05:56.

free kick for Algeria. Good skills from the youngster, only

:05:57.:06:12.

19 years of age, made his international debut in March,

:06:13.:06:19.

Bentaleb. Goalkeeper trying to organise his defence. The Korea

:06:20.:06:24.

Republic brought everybody back to defend this. Brahimi is over it.

:06:25.:06:31.

A clutch of bodies on the edge of the penalty area. Brahimi culls one

:06:32.:06:35.

in. Not enough weight on it. Mesbah. Forced back by Lee

:06:36.:06:59.

Chung-yong. Brought down nicely. Held up by Lee

:07:00.:07:27.

Yong. Mesbah. That was neat. Brahimi. Ignoring jab you, and Korea

:07:28.:07:38.

Republic look far from convincing. Shouts were a penalty. The chance

:07:39.:07:45.

drops by Brahimi, -- shouts for a penalty. They are still appealing

:07:46.:07:48.

for the penalty, one or two of the Algerians. In the previous games we

:07:49.:07:55.

have had a penalty kicks. France against Honduras, and Australia

:07:56.:08:03.

against the Netherlands. A clumsy challenge, and a good opportunity

:08:04.:08:07.

for Brahimi, but that, to me looks a good shout, Kim Jong long with the

:08:08.:08:11.

challenge. He was caught with the ball very

:08:12.:08:16.

close with -- to him. It might have been Feghouli, looking

:08:17.:08:31.

at that again. Medjani with the foul.

:08:32.:08:52.

The Korea Republic yet to settle down. Five minutes on the clock.

:08:53.:09:09.

Korea Republic with some Gazans of relief not having the penalty

:09:10.:09:12.

against them. -- gasps of relief. Bougherra back to Mbolhi. Not the

:09:13.:09:27.

greatest clearance I've ever seen. In a tussle trying to regain

:09:28.:09:35.

possession. Showed too much of that to Brahimi.

:09:36.:09:48.

The man from the Olympic team of two years ago, and there is the

:09:49.:10:00.

colourful coach of Algeria. The coach Doug Ivory Coast at the World

:10:01.:10:04.

Cup finals four years ago, but he was sacked before the competition

:10:05.:10:09.

got underway -- the coach took Ivory Coast to the World Cup. Bougherra.

:10:10.:10:21.

Now Halliche. We did know that Algeria would play with a three-man

:10:22.:10:27.

defence today, but it looks like more a back four to me. Lee Yong is

:10:28.:10:32.

the culprit. Once again, Bougherra and Halliche

:10:33.:10:43.

coming up from the back to lend their support to Slim Marney and

:10:44.:11:16.

others in white. Bentaleb has a swing. Algeria Apple -- happy to

:11:17.:11:26.

settle for the corner. Brahimi, only his seventh cap for Algeria today,

:11:27.:11:31.

with a corner kick. Bougherra and Halliche still in the box.

:11:32.:11:36.

Brahimi's delivery is a good one. It's better dealt with by the Korea

:11:37.:11:43.

Republic. Son Heung-min completing the clearance. Positive start from

:11:44.:11:49.

the Africans. They got the better of Burkina Faso in their play-off game,

:11:50.:11:51.

sneaking through on the away Burkina Faso in their play-off game,

:11:52.:11:55.

sneaking goals rule, losing the first leg away, 3-2. This fellow,

:11:56.:11:59.

Bougherra, scored the only goal of a home game to clinch their part.

:12:00.:12:10.

Another corner. -- their path. Slimani takes his position in and

:12:11.:12:13.

around the six yard box. He turned 26 years of age the other day, and

:12:14.:12:19.

no guesses as to what he wants a birthday present today. Five in the

:12:20.:12:22.

box for Algeria. That is deep. Into the side netting. One or two

:12:23.:12:32.

Algerians in the crowd thought it might have leaked in the post.

:12:33.:12:35.

Managed to find a bit of room. Halliche, from Mesbah. Slimani

:12:36.:13:00.

underneath it. Surprised and disappointed to see

:13:01.:13:19.

the referee indicate that the throw was going the way of the Korea

:13:20.:13:28.

Republic. They had a dreadful qualifying campaign, squeezing

:13:29.:13:34.

through on goal difference over Uzbekistan, and their coach resigned

:13:35.:13:37.

at the end of the campaign, having used 45 players at the end of it,

:13:38.:13:41.

and then they then turned to the national hero, who guided his team

:13:42.:13:47.

to an Olympic bronze 12 months earlier. Just to see if he could

:13:48.:13:52.

make a better fist of doing well in Brazil. In comparison to the man

:13:53.:14:02.

that charge of getting them here. -- with the charge. Bougherra was too

:14:03.:14:06.

casual, and Korea the public come forward.

:14:07.:14:12.

casual, and Korea the public come way into the penalty area. He is

:14:13.:14:16.

marshalled out of play superbly. That was Madjid Bougherra. It was

:14:17.:14:24.

his earlier error, but see how he guides into the site. The clearance

:14:25.:14:43.

will drop here. Running against Bougherra. He has done well here.

:14:44.:14:48.

Bougherra again, masterful at the back.

:14:49.:15:02.

Lee Chung-yong. Turning into trouble, but they get the free kick.

:15:03.:15:30.

Challenged by Brahimi. Second piece of excellent defending from Madjid

:15:31.:15:32.

Bougherra. Captain against the captain. You might be tested here.

:15:33.:15:53.

Lee Song Young over this. First to the loosed -- loose ball will be Son

:15:54.:16:01.

Heung-min. For waiting in the Centre for the Korea Republic. Header away

:16:02.:16:04.

by Mesbah for Algeria. Bentaleb. Medjani. Lovely turn.

:16:05.:16:23.

Running away from his colleague rather than turning towards the

:16:24.:16:42.

ball. Away by Bougherra. Stab away. It's taken them a while to get into

:16:43.:16:46.

their group, the Korea Republic, but more encouraging signs now. Son

:16:47.:16:53.

Heung-min via Leverkusen making steady before the intervention -- of

:16:54.:17:01.

buyer Leverkusen. First corner of the game for the Korea Republic.

:17:02.:17:07.

Key Song Young to Whippet Inn near post, punched away by Mbolhi. -- to

:17:08.:17:20.

which it away. Well played by Lee Yong.

:17:21.:17:35.

Algeria have only managed two victories in their previous ten

:17:36.:17:40.

matches at the World Cup finals. Their last was back in 1982 when

:17:41.:17:45.

they had already beaten West Germany and went on to beat Chile before

:17:46.:17:53.

their cruel exit with the controversial fixture between

:17:54.:17:57.

Austria and West Germany. Where they contrived to concoct a 1-0 success

:17:58.:18:05.

for West Germany, which saw both sides go through at the expense of

:18:06.:18:08.

Algeria. Forward, the Korea Republic. Now young Suk-young.

:18:09.:18:18.

Lee Yong Yong. Struggling to keep it in.

:18:19.:18:53.

Slimani. He has over here that. -- he has overheat bad.

:18:54.:19:05.

Brahimi didn't do him any favours. Hong Jeong-ho. Song Young men.

:19:06.:19:24.

Mesbah filed -- for Algeria. Halliche.

:19:25.:19:44.

Only his third appearance for his country, didn't make his first

:19:45.:19:50.

appearance until March, one of those players born in France. Algeria are

:19:51.:19:57.

reversing the trend at the moment that saw their players born in

:19:58.:20:03.

Algeria, then going on to star for France, and then -- like is injured

:20:04.:20:09.

in Saddam, and a certain Caryn Benzema, who has rattled in some

:20:10.:20:15.

goals -- Zinedane Zidane. The 30th World Cup match for the

:20:16.:21:02.

Korea Republic, the most of any Asian teen. Teen. Japan the next

:21:03.:21:13.

with 26. But only five wins. Their most successful World Cup campaign

:21:14.:21:17.

came on home soil when they reached the semifinals some 12 years ago.

:21:18.:21:22.

Another free kick conceded by Algeria. Kook-young the man broke

:21:23.:21:31.

down -- brought down. Bougherra nods it away without any

:21:32.:21:44.

great pressure on him. Surrounded by a red shirts. Held it

:21:45.:22:31.

up well. Well, he is nicknamed as the

:22:32.:22:45.

Algerian Lionel Messi. A left footed player, very tricky.

:22:46.:22:54.

Bougherra. Slimani waits in the centre. Great ball. Slimani. Just

:22:55.:24:14.

too far ahead of him. And Korea Republic and able to get it away.

:24:15.:24:19.

That was a fabulous cross. And it very nearly paved an opening for

:24:20.:24:35.

Slimani. Halliche. Mesbah of years gone for the and dashed -- over at

:24:36.:24:55.

it was just able to get to the heart stop. He was able to get it clear.

:24:56.:25:08.

And he has brought in at right back for their quality deliveries from

:25:09.:25:08.

the flanks. And the man fouled will take this

:25:09.:25:21.

free kick. Taken away by the goalkeeper. He is

:25:22.:25:48.

happy to settle for the throw. Mandi again for all able to it that. Over

:25:49.:26:00.

the crossbar. Snatched up the opportunity.

:26:01.:26:32.

Played by Lee Chung-yong. Lovely control by Slimani. Again, Mesbah.

:26:33.:27:10.

Djabou. That was a good tackle. On the far side, Yun Suk-young.

:27:11.:27:38.

Korea Republic have managed only one win in their past six games and that

:27:39.:27:44.

was in March against Greece. In six games they have only scored in a

:27:45.:27:46.

couple of them. Here is Lee Yong. Bentaleb. Mesbah.

:27:47.:28:33.

Bentaleb again. That was poor. And looking for Son Heung-min. Not able

:28:34.:28:40.

to pick him out though. An impressive start to proceedings.

:28:41.:28:48.

Defensively and defensively. Slimani. Djabou. He wants it played

:28:49.:29:02.

over the top and he is offside. It was a smart run. He spotted it. And

:29:03.:29:13.

by the time the pass was made, he was just inches ahead of the right

:29:14.:29:21.

back, Lee Yong. I think he spotted him. Did not come down quick enough

:29:22.:29:28.

for him to get it through. At the moment, with 25 minutes gone, the

:29:29.:29:35.

Africans are just shading it. The goalkeeper has not been forced into

:29:36.:29:36.

Africans are just shading it. The any great activity as of yet.

:29:37.:29:44.

Looking to release Slimani. And he is quick. Between the defenders

:29:45.:30:00.

here. Goal, Algeria! Slimani! He was their top scorer in qualifying. And

:30:01.:30:08.

he justifies the faith shown in him to be in from the start today.

:30:09.:30:20.

The early release from Medjani and Slimani able to get in between the

:30:21.:30:32.

defenders, struggling to cope with the bouncing ball. He just got the

:30:33.:30:41.

touch required here. And putting it past the goalkeeper, who would

:30:42.:30:46.

hoped his defenders would have dealt with it for

:30:47.:30:46.

hoped his defenders would have dealt strike rate that he has got for his

:30:47.:30:53.

country. That is 11 out of 27 appearances. It might be the

:30:54.:30:57.

platform for a famous Algerian victory. Brahimi with a chance and

:30:58.:31:07.

the deflection has taken it wide. Korea Republic at the moment are all

:31:08.:31:14.

over the place at the back. Brahimi forced wide. The deflection took it

:31:15.:31:18.

further wide. Third corner, Algeria. The keeper

:31:19.:31:52.

has missed it. 2-0! Halliche. Algeria

:31:53.:31:53.

has missed it. 2-0! Halliche. two goals in two minutes.

:31:54.:31:58.

has missed it. 2-0! Halliche. the second goal he has ever scored

:31:59.:32:01.

for his country and his first in more than four years. And what an

:32:02.:32:11.

important one it might be. The goalkeeper was caught in no man's

:32:12.:32:15.

land. He waited for it to arrive into his fist. By the time it almost

:32:16.:32:22.

got there, he had powered it home, Halliche.

:32:23.:32:55.

I am not sure if there were any, but if they had had any nerves,

:32:56.:33:00.

recalling the fact that if they had had any nerves,

:33:01.:33:04.

front at around about the same time against Belgium on shoes date, only

:33:05.:33:08.

for the Belgians to come back and defeat them 2-1, those nerves have

:33:09.:33:13.

quickly been disbursed with a very speedy second strike. -- Belgium on

:33:14.:33:23.

Tuesday. That clearance was poor. But so was the attempt at control by

:33:24.:33:35.

Lee Chung-yong. Just a bit sloppy, Algeria, with their passing in the

:33:36.:33:45.

past minute or so. Looking for the run of Lee Yong. But it was a badly

:33:46.:33:54.

placed pass. And a problem here for Slimani.

:33:55.:34:13.

Fantastic scenes away to my right. They cannot quite take it in. First,

:34:14.:34:25.

Slimani and then Halliche. Ever present four years ago when they did

:34:26.:34:28.

not score in three games in South Africa. And they have just scored

:34:29.:34:36.

their third goal of this campaign. And it is a scoreline at the moment

:34:37.:34:41.

that puts them in the driving seat, to make the last 16.

:34:42.:35:03.

It has set up a fascinating contest on Thursday when they take on the

:35:04.:35:11.

Russians. A draw would be enough to see them through. They are, we are

:35:12.:35:17.

in danger of getting ahead of ourselves. There is a long way to go

:35:18.:35:24.

in this game yet. Trying to work a shooting opportunity, possibly. And

:35:25.:35:31.

he will cross. And it is hacked away by Halliche four Algeria. -- around

:35:32.:35:44.

your area. -- for the Algerians. These are the statistics that

:35:45.:35:47.

Algeria have enjoyed. Conceding a free kick here. Mystified by that

:35:48.:35:54.

decision, this player. What they cannot afford to do, the North

:35:55.:35:58.

Africans, is allow Korea Republic back into the game. I am sure their

:35:59.:36:06.

coach will be hoping that between now and half-time they will have

:36:07.:36:17.

retained a clean sheet. Algeria have brought everybody back. And it has

:36:18.:36:25.

been poached away by M'Bolhi and headed away.

:36:26.:36:43.

The goals keep on coming at the World Cup 2014. 86 now. Brahimi.

:36:44.:37:00.

Djabou. Brahimi again. Djabou to his left

:37:01.:37:19.

again. Waiting in the centre. Supported, to Whippet Inn. -- to get

:37:20.:37:31.

it in. He is underneath it. Lee Yong. Son Heung-min. Yun Suk-young.

:37:32.:37:41.

Quick to get bodies back behind the ball. They are forcing Korea

:37:42.:37:45.

Republic back. Hong Jeong-ho. Ki Sung-Yeung. Korea Republic are

:37:46.:38:10.

just trying to draw Algeria towards them. And make pockets of space

:38:11.:38:15.

between the midfield and the back four. It is not working. Algeria are

:38:16.:38:22.

not falling for it. They are retaining their structure. He might

:38:23.:38:29.

steal it away from him. Yun Suk-young. Bougherra steps in.

:38:30.:39:07.

Feghouli. Brahimi. There is a real confidence about Algeria now. And

:39:08.:39:12.

why not? Leading 2-0, ten minutes from half-time, in command of the

:39:13.:39:20.

situation and looking set to qualify with one game to go. They are

:39:21.:39:33.

looking to deprive of what they expected to be their place in the

:39:34.:39:36.

last 16, Russia. Strayed into an offside position. Mandi once it

:39:37.:39:47.

back. Slimani makes his move in the box. They have settled for a

:39:48.:40:09.

Korea Republic with four defenders and a goalkeeper in the six yard box

:40:10.:40:16.

and Algeria have only got one, they have got to now -- they have got a

:40:17.:40:30.

couple now. Cleared by Djabou. Fabulous work. And still going. He

:40:31.:40:41.

has lost his footing. There was some interference from a Korean boot in

:40:42.:40:42.

that movement. The Algerian form coming into the

:40:43.:40:53.

World Cup was pretty good, winning three in a row including a success

:40:54.:41:04.

against Romania. A good test for them. It is going to come down to

:41:05.:41:14.

Slimani. A chance for 3-0 and it is. 3-0, Algeria! Djabou. Unbelievable

:41:15.:41:30.

scenes in Porto Alegre. This was supposed to be a tight contest. But

:41:31.:41:36.

Algeria have roared into a 3-0 lead and we have not yet reached

:41:37.:41:44.

half-time. Again, bad defending by Korea Republic and again, good work

:41:45.:41:49.

by Slimani. And the key to the goal, taking it early. And before the

:41:50.:41:53.

goalkeeper had settled himself, it was passed him. -- it was passed

:41:54.:42:05.

him. -- it was through him. Algeria taking a firm grip on the second

:42:06.:42:09.

spot in Group H. What a masterstroke, a couple of the

:42:10.:43:00.

players he has brought in from the start today have hit the back of the

:43:01.:43:08.

net. Korea Republic looking shell-shocked. They might get an

:43:09.:43:12.

opening themselves here. It has quickly been closed down. Algeria

:43:13.:43:24.

stealing the game. Lee Chung-yong. Korea Republic desperately need

:43:25.:43:29.

something on the scoresheet before half-time but they are not going to

:43:30.:43:30.

get it here. Slimani. Djabou. Bad news for the fans of Korea

:43:31.:43:51.

Republic, they have never scored more than a couple in their previous

:43:52.:44:00.

29 World Cup matches. And the truth be told today, they have not looked

:44:01.:44:02.

like scoring one. In their brief World Cup history,

:44:03.:44:16.

the finest performance of Algeria was at their very first

:44:17.:44:19.

involvement, defeating West Germany 2-1. This will sit alongside that.

:44:20.:44:32.

Particularly if it paves the pathway to a historic involvement in the

:44:33.:44:33.

knockout stages. Feghouli just tripped from behind

:44:34.:46:03.

here. By Park Chu-young. It was on this day, some 24 years

:46:04.:46:24.

ago that a certain Diego Maradona walked past English defenders to

:46:25.:46:26.

score arguably the best goal in the World Cup finals. And he was amongst

:46:27.:46:31.

those saying keep and I had four Algeria in this tournament. Might be

:46:32.:46:35.

better than we expected. 3-0 league lead. -- leading. It is their fifth

:46:36.:46:59.

corner. Headed away by Kim Young-gwon. Slimani goes wide. He

:47:00.:47:10.

usually does his damage when coming on as a substitute, Slimani. Ten

:47:11.:47:16.

goals this season for Sporting Lisbon. Medjani. Slimani. Picked

So this has been a marvellous performance from them already.

Brahimi tried to make progress already. No way through on this

:52:15.:52:22.

occasion. Korea Republic clearly need a goal as quickly as possible,

:52:23.:52:28.

just to put a seed of doubt in the minds of those. Remember earlier

:52:29.:52:45.

today, Belgian adding a late winner against Russia. A victory that means

:52:46.:52:53.

that they will definitely be involved in the last 16. He has

:52:54.:53:09.

found a bit of space here. The leash. Brahimi, battling through

:53:10.:53:18.

one, but stopped by key Song Young. -- Ki Sung Yong.

:53:19.:53:40.

Brought down. The free kick. Grappling with a left-back.

:53:41.:54:21.

Conceding the free kick. Feghouli has impeded. Mbolhi, completely

:54:22.:54:36.

untroubled in the first half. Asking for two in the wall. The Korea

:54:37.:54:45.

Republic with six in the box. A further two on the edge for the

:54:46.:54:47.

pull-back. Too much jostling for the referee 's

:54:48.:55:19.

liking. Finally ready. After all that, very disappointing delivery,

:55:20.:55:46.

easily cleared by Bentaleb. The assistant referee saw something

:55:47.:55:56.

wrong with that. Key Song Young. Mistake from Algeria, and a goal.

:55:57.:56:06.

Son Heung-min with it. Korea Republic perhaps see a glimmer of an

:56:07.:56:09.

opportunity here to get back into this one. Their first shot at goal

:56:10.:56:27.

brings them a goal. The error by Bougherra, Hoover once got it wrong,

:56:28.:56:32.

and it is a smart finish from Son Heung-min. -- who for once got it

:56:33.:56:39.

wrong. The golden boy. The golden boy of the football world in Korea

:56:40.:56:44.

Republic. Got lucky as it came off his back, but sized up the

:56:45.:56:48.

opportunity, throwing the dummy, and then through the legs of the

:56:49.:56:53.

goalkeeper. Korea Republic maybe, just maybe, back in business.

:56:54.:57:16.

Feghouli from Algeria. The foul committed by the goal-scorer for

:57:17.:58:11.

Korea Republic, Son Heung-min. Medjani looking to make a run

:58:12.:58:16.

Bougherra in there as well. Straight at the goalkeeper.

:58:17.:58:23.

The flag stays down. Son Heung-min, in behind the Algerian rearguard.

:58:24.:58:35.

There are two waiting in the box. Eventually the cross goes in.

:58:36.:58:42.

Offside flag. It is raised against Koo Ja-cheol. Suddenly it is the

:58:43.:58:48.

Algerian defence that is looking hesitant and wobbly. Just straying

:58:49.:59:01.

into an offside position. It wouldn't have counted had he managed

:59:02.:59:07.

to steer it in at the goalkeeper's left-hand post. They need to dig in

:59:08.:59:17.

here. They have to keep the back door shut for a little while. Just

:59:18.:59:22.

to deny any hope for Korea Republic. Brahimi.

:59:23.:59:32.

Bentaleb. Mesbah is looking very one footed, but he finally finds his

:59:33.:59:48.

Bentaleb. Mesbah is looking very one with his right. And Bentaleb, from

:59:49.:59:53.

left-back again. Mesbah. Clumsy challenge from Lee Yong. That is the

:59:54.:59:59.

first yellow card of the afternoon for the right back for Korea

:00:00.:00:05.

Republic, Lee Yong. He shares his name with a very famous Korean pop

:00:06.:00:10.

star, but fewer people clamour him for his autograph. Bentaleb.

:00:11.:00:26.

Feghouli. Korea Republic have failed to get

:00:27.:00:57.

through the group stages at six of their eight World Cup. Their only

:00:58.:01:07.

successes were on home soil for years ago when I lost in the last 16

:01:08.:01:11.

to Uruguay. They have given themselves a mountain to climb after

:01:12.:01:27.

that awful first half display. Ki Sung Yong. Trying to get the

:01:28.:01:36.

left-back in. There was a handball possibly against Bougherra. The

:01:37.:01:39.

referee was well placed and did not see anything amiss, but it will be a

:01:40.:01:44.

Korea Republic corner. Let's look at this again. As the defender comes

:01:45.:01:52.

across, he felt it struck me elbow. Punched away by Mbolhi. A corner

:01:53.:02:12.

kick that almost caught out Algeria. Five African nations here in

:02:13.:02:20.

Brazil. Ivory Coast are well placed. Ghana are in trouble. Cameroon are

:02:21.:02:26.

out. And if Algeria can improve this... Slim mainly -- Slim Marney.

:02:27.:02:38.

They have a chance to get through the last 16 the first time. What an

:02:39.:02:43.

achievement that would be for African football. Korea Republic

:02:44.:02:47.

will make a change shortly. It is Kim Shin-wook ready to come on. In

:02:48.:02:52.

the meantime, it is Lee Yong. Battling to regain possession, and

:02:53.:03:03.

they have done well to win a free kick, Korea Republic. Quickly taken.

:03:04.:03:11.

Algeria very nearly caught out. That's the second occasion in the

:03:12.:03:14.

second half that they have been caught out by quickly take on set

:03:15.:03:24.

pieces by Korea Republic. And again, it's going to be Park Chu-young who

:03:25.:03:32.

makes way early in the second half, and this time it is going to be

:03:33.:03:39.

number 18, Kim Shin-wook, 6'5" tall, and maybe his height will be

:03:40.:03:46.

that route that they take to try and clamber their way back into the

:03:47.:03:47.

contest. A long way to go, but a good

:03:48.:04:02.

interception by Feghouli. Brahimi. Another touch by Bougherra. -- into

:04:03.:05:36.

touch by Bougherra. Son Heung-min, taking them all on. Worked his way

:05:37.:05:47.

into the penalty area. Key Sung Yong, who can hit them, and he has.

:05:48.:05:54.

A great save by Mbolhi. -- Ki Sung Yong. Such power in the effort from

:05:55.:06:00.

Ki Sung Yong. And Mbolhi gets his hand up and across and tipped it

:06:01.:06:08.

over. Another quickly take on set piece. Lee Chung-yong's cross is

:06:09.:06:20.

charged down. Korea Republic were looking for one back before the hour

:06:21.:06:26.

mark a nearly found to. At the moment, Algeria cannot keep

:06:27.:06:29.

possession. They cannot get out of their own half.

:06:30.:06:48.

It will drop here for Koo Ja-cheol. Ki Sung Yong. Trying to get away

:06:49.:07:03.

from Bentaleb. In goes the cross. Bougherra gets his head to it first.

:07:04.:07:06.

And the free kick is conceded. There is the effort that was

:07:07.:07:23.

brilliantly cleared off the line. Mbolhi was caught off-guard. Korea

:07:24.:07:28.

Republic has had enough chances in the second half already to be level

:07:29.:07:37.

at 3-3. We have seen just about everything already at this World

:07:38.:07:41.

Cup, so many comebacks, and this would be the comeback of all.

:07:42.:07:51.

Koo Ja-cheol, strongly forward for Kim Shin-wook. Composure in the

:07:52.:08:15.

Algerian defence. Feghouli. What a fabulous goal! Yacine Brahimi. And

:08:16.:08:23.

the 3-goal advantage is restored. It was the first time Algeria had

:08:24.:08:49.

threatened in the second half. Feghouli initially involved, then

:08:50.:08:56.

Brahimi. And it is such a composed finish. Yacine Brahimi, his

:08:57.:09:04.

first-ever international goal. Another of those players brought in

:09:05.:09:09.

by the manager from the offset today. A player who was kept at U21

:09:10.:09:23.

level for France, and now places international football for Algeria,

:09:24.:09:30.

and Mike, were they happy to have him on board. Korea Republic have it

:09:31.:09:42.

all to do again. Algeria, the first African nation to

:09:43.:09:56.

score four goals at a World Cup finals.

:09:57.:10:02.

The way this game is going, you don't feel that the scoring has

:10:03.:10:11.

halted as yet. Korea Republic are going to make their second change,

:10:12.:10:17.

and this time it will be Lee Yong homecoming on, the man who put them

:10:18.:10:23.

in front against Russia on Tuesday. He is going to replace Lee

:10:24.:10:42.

Chung-yong. One leave for another. -- one Lee for another.

:10:43.:10:56.

The clearance by Bentaleb. Yong Suk-young the last man back for

:10:57.:11:03.

Korea Republic. What a body blow for Korea Republic

:11:04.:11:19.

to suffer there. Came out with such appetite in the

:11:20.:11:32.

second half, and an early goal to give them life. The clearance of the

:11:33.:11:43.

line. -- off the line. We could have been 3-3, instead it is 4-1. Brahimi

:11:44.:12:40.

the fourth goal scorer for Algeria. Uncharacteristic error by Brahimi.

:12:41.:13:26.

Son Heung-min to take it. Six in their looking to attack this,

:13:27.:13:29.

including the giant Kim Shin-wook. Korea Republic could do with him on

:13:30.:14:22.

the pitch. On this very day, 12 years ago, he scored the decisive

:14:23.:14:26.

penalty in a quarterfinal shoot out victory over Spain. Is the shout

:14:27.:14:39.

from his goalkeeper, and he leaves well alone. -- he hears of the shout

:14:40.:14:44.

from his goalkeeper. Kim Shin-wook is beginning to win

:14:45.:15:12.

everything in the air. Bentaleb. Medjani.

:15:13.:15:18.

Bentaleb was caught and has stayed down, but the referee is

:15:19.:15:31.

Algeria the chance to play the advantage. But he has not escaped

:15:32.:15:33.

the yellow. error. And just looking around, you

:15:34.:16:58.

would not guess that Korea Republic were losing because their fans are

:16:59.:17:05.

joining in with the Algerians. Just enjoying the occasion. If not the

:17:06.:17:13.

scoreline. Slimani has been a handful all afternoon and he has got

:17:14.:17:15.

Algeria a free kick here. Ghilas getting his instructions from

:17:16.:17:45.

his coach. Before entering the fray. Bougherra's free kick. Looking for

:17:46.:17:52.

Djabou. Surrounded and foul. Jung Suk-young. Followed by Kim

:17:53.:18:27.

Young-gwon. And this is a real chance. And it is another one back.

:18:28.:18:40.

4-2 now, in Porto Alegre. And it is all about the work here,

:18:41.:18:58.

working the back post. And it is not across the penalty area. -- taken

:18:59.:19:03.

across. From the knee of the captain, Koo Ja-cheol. And it is a

:19:04.:19:16.

second goal for Korea Republic. First change, Algeria. Djabou, who

:19:17.:19:27.

scored their third has not had much of a second-half. Tiring, maybe. And

:19:28.:19:37.

he is replaced by Ghilas, who plays for Porto, mainly as a sub. As

:19:38.:19:42.

played in the Champions League can be Europa League in his career. --

:19:43.:19:48.

he has played in the Champions League and the Europa League in his

:19:49.:19:49.

career. Son Heung-min has done well. He has

:19:50.:20:07.

picked out his team-mate. A decent delivery. Spectacularly and

:20:08.:20:19.

acrobatically turned over the bar. One for the cameras, that one. And

:20:20.:20:28.

in comes the latest Korea Republic corner. And he could not keep it

:20:29.:20:44.

down. That was his role in the goal. Across and stabbed home.

:20:45.:21:35.

Algeria are getting a second substitute ready down beneath us. It

:21:36.:21:41.

looks like Lacen. Ghilas. Still battling, still

:21:42.:22:18.

fighting. Looking for Slimani. Ki Sung-Yeung putting his foot down. He

:22:19.:22:20.

cannot shake him off. At the time it again. -- at the

:22:21.:22:48.

target again. Inside the last 15 minutes. Algeria will make their

:22:49.:22:55.

second change. And it is another of their goal-scorers, Brahimi, making

:22:56.:23:07.

way for Lacen. Another in their ranks, born in France. Brahimi is

:23:08.:23:20.

running on empty at the moment. Algeria need fresh legs into the

:23:21.:23:28.

middle of the park. Lacen was ever present at the World Cup finals four

:23:29.:23:30.

years ago. Slimani. Playing for the throw.

:23:31.:24:07.

Final change, Korea Republic. He has been booked, and he makes his way

:24:08.:24:11.

for Ji Dong-won. Plenty of strikers on the pitch now

:24:12.:24:42.

the Korea Republic. They still need couple-macro goals. -- they still

:24:43.:24:50.

need to goals. -- they still need a couple of goals. Some of the

:24:51.:24:55.

Algerian players looking up at the giant scoreboard at the other end of

:24:56.:24:58.

the ground checking to see how much time left to go. It has been a

:24:59.:25:10.

second half of difficulty for them. Able to keep it down.

:25:11.:25:29.

Koo Ja-cheol. Kim Young-gwon. Kim Shin-wook.

:25:30.:25:50.

Winning the free kick. Mesbah. Lacen.

:25:51.:26:35.

The Mexican wave around the stadium now. The fans have enjoyed the

:26:36.:26:42.

spectacle out there on the pitch and they are trying to add to it

:26:43.:26:45.

themselves as Korea they are trying to add to it

:26:46.:26:48.

for a couple of goals in the last ten minutes. They have got a free

:26:49.:26:59.

kick here. Lee Keun-ho making his way into the box. Kim Shin-wook is

:27:00.:27:08.

there already, as is the other sub, Ji Dong-won. Over this set piece,

:27:09.:27:15.

can Korea Republic score again to get within touching distance of

:27:16.:27:20.

Algeria? Not immediately. It will be a corner. Son Heung-min is ready to

:27:21.:27:39.

take it already. Taken away once more. Lee Keun-ho. Stabbed away by

:27:40.:27:46.

Mesbah. It is heading for number 18. He has

:27:47.:28:35.

got it again. Away by Mandi. Lacen struggling with the bounce as much

:28:36.:28:43.

as anything. Korea Republic can come again. Kim Young-gwon. Algeria have

:28:44.:28:52.

one man down with cramp on the halfway line. And sportingly one of

:28:53.:28:58.

the players from Korea Republic has gone across to apply some treatment.

:28:59.:29:07.

It was ten on ten for a second. Just calling for the ball to become dead.

:29:08.:29:27.

Algeria do have one more change still to make. And from the looks of

:29:28.:29:58.

this it is pretty clear that Slimani will not be able to continue. Robbie

:29:59.:30:04.

26-macro will come on. He set the ball rolling with the first of the

:30:05.:30:11.

six goals we have seen today. -- Belkalem will come on. Good

:30:12.:30:15.

determination and a smart finish. He knew what he had to do. Take it

:30:16.:30:19.

earlier than the goalkeeper anticipated. And that seems to have

:30:20.:30:27.

sent Algeria on their way to an emphatic triumph. 3-0 at half-time.

:30:28.:30:31.

Korea Republic coming back strongly in the second half. But still

:30:32.:30:37.

leading 4-2. Just over five minutes of normal time left to go. Slimani

:30:38.:30:43.

having had his treatment now wants to come back on. Play continues. Lee

:30:44.:30:49.

Chung-yong. He was attacking it. Koo Ja-cheol

:30:50.:31:47.

outnumbered. Ghilas has gone for the return, but the post is too strong.

:31:48.:31:57.

Next time it goes out of play, Algeria will make their final

:31:58.:32:03.

change. You can see Belkalem is ready to come on. Kim Shin-wook

:32:04.:32:13.

winning the free kick. He felt that he was being backed into.

:32:14.:32:27.

We have already seen a real parlour drive which the goalkeeper did

:32:28.:32:38.

really well to get something onto turnover. -- a real pilot driver. --

:32:39.:32:52.

a real driver. Down the need me, the Kirk -- the coach is turning to the

:32:53.:32:56.

Algeria supporters and telling them to increase the volume a little

:32:57.:33:00.

bit. They need this. Pushing for victory. But they are not quite

:33:01.:33:14.

there yet. Son Heung-min strikes the wall. Lee Yong. Hong Jeong-ho

:33:15.:33:27.

launching it towards the goal again. Three defenders. Recovers and clears

:33:28.:33:35.

into touch. He is furious with himself for not finding his man back

:33:36.:33:43.

post. Kim Young-gwon with the centre. A little drop here. And who

:33:44.:33:51.

is to say that would not have gone in? It ounce down ever so inviting

:33:52.:34:02.

me. -- went down. But not able to keep it on target.

:34:03.:34:17.

Ghilas will chase and he will get to it first. Lacen. Mesbah. Goal kick.

:34:18.:34:39.

No, corner given. Let's just see now, as Algeria make their change.

:34:40.:34:54.

It is going to be Bougherra making way, rather than Slimani who seems

:34:55.:34:57.

to have overcome his problems with cramp. Belkalem was with Watford in

:34:58.:35:09.

the English championship last season, on loan. Time is running out

:35:10.:35:15.

for Korea Republic. Forward by Hong Jeong-ho. Cleared by

:35:16.:35:38.

Halliche. I have got to hand it to Korea Republic. It has been a brave

:35:39.:35:43.

fight in the second. But unfortunately for them their hapless

:35:44.:35:45.

display in the first has given them too much to do.

:35:46.:36:14.

Lee Yong. Hong Jeong-ho. Kim Shin-wook. He has got it again.

:36:15.:36:39.

Medjani. He will settle for that. Free kick. As we get beyond 90

:36:40.:36:46.

minutes. Four minutes of added time left to come. Four minutes left the

:36:47.:37:00.

Korea Republic to find two goals. It has been an impressive recovery from

:37:01.:37:01.

cramp. Winning the throw. And for once it has not in taken by

:37:02.:37:52.

Kim Shin-wook. A seventh corner, the Korea Republic. They have got to

:37:53.:38:07.

score from it. Ki Sung-Yeung taking it. That was well taken. He clutches

:38:08.:38:12.

it to his body like a newborn baby. This was a big test for Algeria.

:38:13.:38:43.

They knew when they went out onto the turf, that if they lost this

:38:44.:38:46.

game they were out of the competition. And they have taken the

:38:47.:38:50.

game to Korea Republic from the outset. A couple of goals just

:38:51.:38:57.

before the first half-hour. The third coming just before half-time.

:38:58.:39:02.

And despite a vast informants from Korea Republic in the second-half,

:39:03.:39:07.

Algeria have done enough to hold on. -- performance. That was a good

:39:08.:39:16.

shout here for a penalty. A desperate fall to the ground. Hearts

:39:17.:39:23.

are in Melbourne is all around the stadium. -- are in malls. -- mouths.

:39:24.:39:42.

A theatrical tumble and a challenge. We have seen some soft penalties in

:39:43.:39:48.

this competition already. This is for Algeria. They are now trying to

:39:49.:39:53.

run the clock down. And this will help.

:39:54.:40:34.
