2014 WORLD CUP - DAY 06 - GROUP H - Belgium vs Algeria 2:1

GROUP H

Belgium vs Algeria 2:1

 

SQUADS:
ALGERIA BELGIUM   

 

Goals: Belgium:
70' Marouane Fellaine
80' Dries Mertens

Goals: Algeria
25' Sofiane Feghouli

 

Algeria, the north African side took a shock lead when Sofiane Feghouli scored from the spot after being fouled by Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen.

Belgium were in danger of turning into England of the more recent past here. A 'golden generation' of talent, a squad seemingly overflowing with big-money individuals, that comes together for the national team to play stuttering, stagnant football. 

Until Marc Wilmots made the changes that produced two quite brilliant goals in the final 20 minutes,

Manchester United's Fellaini equalised with a looping header, shortly after coming on in the second half.

Dries Mertens scored the winner when he finished off a swift counter-attack.
