81′ Eshchenko on the end of a decent move by Russia. His low right foot drive across goal just clears the post

Didn’t have a touch inside Algeria’s box during the first match. Similar today

Belgium still likely to win because of talent on the pitch. It hasn’t served them well so far and Russia has created the better chances

Kevin Mirallas was someone who didn’t get a look in during the first match. If it stays this way I for one would hope to see him. Januzaj another who can turn a game

HT: It was one of the more dour halves so far in this World Cup. Belgium had the bulk of the ball as expected but it was Russia with the best moments in front of goal. Kokorin’s chance was golden and Capello’s men should be ahead

44′ Russia should be ahead! Glushakov puts in a peach of a cross and Kokorin has a header from no more than eight yards out. He can’t hit the target

Full Time: Belgium once again disappointed but once again has managed to get the all-important win. It took them until the last ten minutes to start asking real questions of the Russian defence. 19-year-old Origi scored the winner with Belgium’s first proper shot on target and is a definite chance to start ahead of Lukaku next time out. Cruel for Russia who defended well for the most part and created the better chances on the break throughout the match.
