For Algeria, this has been a tournament of breaking new ground.

First, the squad won its first World Cup match since 1982 - a 4-2 victory over South Korea, and then on Thursday it qualified for the knockout stages for the first time.

Islam Slimani's 60th-minute header was enough to gain his team a 1-1 draw against Russia and the single point it needed to place second behind Belgium in Group H.
