Half time at the CIS and Algeria are looking more comfortable than a freshly laundered dressing gown and bunny slippers. Senegal have got to sort themselves out here while still only 0-1. The game quality is bad - Senegal don’t have ideas; Algeria don’t need them

Jami Slater: The playacting by Algeria is pathetic. I just hope Mane makes it out of this game uninjured.
Vincent Watts: This match is an embarrassing watch. Both sets of players dropping to the floor at every opportunity, determined to con the ref and get players on the other team sent off. Feel sorry for the ref...
Rob M: Watching Senegal v Algeria is better than taking my daughter to the pantomime at Christmas.
