WORLD CUP 2014: Korea 2 - 4 Algeria

Slimani set Algeria on the way to just their second World Cup finals victory with the opening goal, quickly followed by strikes from Rafik Halliche and Abdelmoumene Djabou as Vahid Halilhodzic's side, beaten narrowly by Belgium in their opening game, raced into a 3-0 lead by half-time.

The Koreans rallied after the break with Son Heung-min and Koo Ja-cheol both scoring, but Yacine Brahimi's calm finish between the two efforts meant there was no late drama.

A draw in their final group game against Russia in Curitiba on Thursday could be enough to send Algeria through with Korea needing to beat group leaders Belgium to stand any chance of progressing.
