A baffling yellow card for Son Heung-min, who is nowhere near Alexander Samedov as he takes a tumble but gets the booking. Harsh.

"South Korea have got the work rate but they haven't really got the players. I'll be very interested to see how well the Russians can put Fabio Capello's disciplined system into practice. Denis Glushakov just sits in midfield in front of the defenders, who like to keep quite a high line.

"Keep your eye on Yuri Zhirkov, he used to play at left-back but now plays as a left winger and is very effective going forward."

Are you a relation Dean?

Dean from Reading: Forget England I'm supporting Capello's Russia! Bernstein may have sacked the most successful England manager ever but an honourable man will always be in demand and its great to see him back. Come on you reds!

Bayer Leverkusen striker Son Heung-min is the current Korean footballer of the year and his touch is great to set up a chance, it brings him inside and he puts on the afterburners to race through the middle, he skins a man on the outside to open up the goal but he leans back and fires wildly over.

Russia looked vulnerable there.

It's a cracking haircut from referee Nestor Pitana, it really is Dave.

David:, external Wasn't sure if this match would be worth staying up for, but the ref's outrageous combover has already vindicated my decision.

He giveth, he taketh away. Great stuff initially from Son Heung-min to step inside a woeful challenge but then when he has a two-man overload he gives it away.

"Michael Laudrup let Ki Sung-yueng go on loan when he was manager of Swansea, but now Garry Monk is in charge you might well see Ki return next season."

South Korea have failed to score in four of their last five international matches but they have been slick and tidy enough so far. Can they hurt Russia though?

"Russia are very durable when you play against them. Every time I think of a Russian team, I have nightmares of 2003 when they beat Wales in the qualifying campaign. Very strong, very experienced."

Great feet from Bolton winger Lee Chung-yong as he glides away from two tackles in the centre-circle but he can't find a team-mate. It's a fairly steady opening in a very humid stadium.

"Fabio Capello still has that arrogance about him and will be expecting his Russia team to do very well tonight. They're very workmanlike, but you can expect South Korea to work hard too. Although there is very little experience in this team."

Russia sporting a lovely maroon, almost but not quite claret kit as South Korea take the all white option.

Here we go then. Teams number 31 & 32 are under way...

Anyone booked their trip to Russia for the 2018 World Cup?

"The energy, technical ability and athleticism should be there to see with the Korea players. Regarding Russia, Capello has picked a squad of ageing players. It baffles me. I don't understand, with the country hosting the next World Cup, why he hasn't included more youngsters."

"Alexander Kokorin is the pin-up boy of Russian football. Fabio Capello has left out Aleksandr Kerzhakov to play him, he likes to come off in to the number 10 position, and has a wonderful left foot."

Here they come then, both teams are out onto the pitch and it's anthems time.

Russia first, Gimn Rossiyskoy Federatsii, which is belted out enthusiastically by those in attendance supporting them. Excellent brass.

Former England defender Phil Neville
MOTD

"I don't think Fabio Capello's mentality suited the English game. The way of life out there is very disciplined so I think he is better suited to Russia than he was to England."
