ALgeria have drawn 1-1 with Russia, which means the African side go through to the last 16, where they will face Germany.
Kokorin 6′, Shatov makes space for himself down the left, and whips a high ball into the Algerian box. Kokorin rises high, and plants an unstoppable header into the top left from 12 yards! Not entirely sure what the Algerian defenders were doing, but that was a crafty late run into the area from the striker, and a hell of a jump. That header was placed right in the corner, too.
Slimani 60′, Djabou loops it to the far post. Akinfeev comes out to claim, but flaps, his second rick of the tournament after his misdemeanor against South Korea. Slimani is up, and heads into the unguarded net. Algeria are bound for the second round right now!
