    "When you're chasing the game you have to give it a go and that's what South Korea did.

    "They upped the tempo after half-time, Algeria sat deep, South Korea got one back, then had one headed off the line but then Algeria go and score. It's tough but they're not out of the World Cup yet."

    Ouch. Algeria captain Madjid Bougherra is booked for a crunching challenge on Son Heung-min. The Africans are showing little sign of easing up. They're challenging for absolutely everything. Can they get five?

    Kenneth Gyang:, external An African team has finally scored four goals in a World Cup match. Algeria. Legends.

    Ross Evans:, external Porto Alegre the place to be this World Cup. 13 goals in 3 matches!

    "It's a much better second half, there are actually two teams playing now - credit to South Korea for the way they started the half. But the first time we've seen Algeria go forward since half-time they score and that has got to be South Korea finished."

    What a time to score your first international goal!

    Algeria restore their three-goal cushion with a super team move which is finished off by Yacine Brahimi's low composed finish from 10 yards. South Korea had been threatening to get back into this. They have it all to do now.

    Paula Chapman:, external This game is actually shaping up to be a bit of a cracker. It's all South Korea now. Is the comeback of the World Cup on?

    So close to a second for South Korea!

    Ki Sung-yueng lets fly from outside the area forcing Rais Mbolhi into a flying save. This is another terrific game.

    "This is a vast improvement on what we saw from South Korea in the first half.

    "If in the first 45 they looked like a Sunday league team then this half they look like a Premier League team. Algeria are feeling the pace, they are not the same side we saw in the first half, when they were in your face and hustling. Now they have dropped off.

    "If South Korea can get a second goal this really will be game on."

  11. YELLOW CARDpublished at 21:12 British Summer Time 22 June 2014

    Lee Yong is booked for a cynical challenge on Djamel Mesbah. South Korea have come alive after a woeful first half display. Still plenty of time for themselves back into this.

    "It's a wonderful goal, again a long ball up in to the box and the two Algeria centre-backs should deal with that given their size and strength, but they're not the most mobile. The ball hits Son Heung-min on the back, he controls it and now it is game on."

    Son Heung-min

    Surely they can't, can they? South Korea claw one back with their first shot on target as Bayer Leverkusen's Son Heung-min produces a smart finish through the legs of the keeper after a mistake by Madjid Bougherra.

  15. Postpublished at 21:06 British Summer Time 22 June 2014

    No African team has ever scored four or more goals in a World Cup game. Algeria are well on their way. South Korea are trying to pass their way back into this but they still cannot threaten the Algeria keeper.

  16. KICK-OFFpublished at 21:02 British Summer Time 22 June 2014

    No changes for South Korea at the interval as we get back under way.
