ALGERIA 1 Vs RUSSIA 1 Wonderful scenes, both on the pitch and in the stands. A green dream is achieved as Algeria advance into the knockout stages of the World Cup finals for the first time. That header from Islam Slimani, gambling that goalkeeper Akinfeev would misjudge the cross, has proved enough to take them through to the Last 16 and set up a tie with Germany. Russia, who had a fifth-minute lead through Kokorin, had nothing in reply once they had been pegged back and bow out. Four years after that 0-0 draw with England, Fabio Capello is cursed by Algeria at a World Cup once again. Belgium also advance from Group H, they beat South Korea 1-0, and will face the United States next Islam Slimani heads in the equaliser that could see his country progress into the last 16 Aleksandr Kokorin scores a fantastic header to give the Russians an early lead Algeria will progress to the last 16 with victory Fabio Capellos Russia can also go through to the next round with victory Group leaders Belgium have already qualified to the knockout stages
