Algeria looking to settle old score

Underdog Algeria has the chance to settle a 32-year-old World Cup score and create a major World Cup upset by knocking out Germany in Monday's last-16 clash.

The teams meet at Porto Alegre's Beira-Rio stadium, but the 1982 World Cup in Spain remains a sore point for Algeria, three decades after 'the shame of Gijon'.

Despite beating West Germany 2-1 in its group game, Algeria was eliminated after the Germans played out a mutually beneficial 1-0 win over Austria in Gijon.
