Match 15 on June 17 at 1:00 PM Brasilia Time

Venue: Estadio Mineirao, Belo Horizonte

Fulltime - An upset was on the cards, but Belgium made a brilliant comeback with 2 goals in 10 minutes. As predicted by Wilmots, it's the substitutes who proved crucial

Belgium not allowing any comeback from Algeria. They are dominating play now

01:24: Substitution - Majdani leaves and Ghilas in for Algeria
01:24: Fellaini heads it with an intent, Mbohli save it again brilliant
01:20: Goal - Counter attack, De Bruyne, Hazard and then Mertens and he powers it in
01:13: Corner into the box but Van Buyten heads it over
01:11: Substitution - Lacen comes in for Algeria, Mahrez is replaced
01:10: Goal - Fellaini heads it in, finally Mbohli is beaten. De Bruyne's cross

Belgium appearing a bit lively now, getting more chances consistently

01:06: Great chance for Belgium, Origi on the ball, one-on-one shoots and it's Mbolhi again. Good save
01:06: Substitution - Slimani replaces Soudani for Algeria
01:05: Substitution - Fellaini comes in for Belgium, Dembele leaves the pitch

It's going all wrong for Belgium, they rarely get in front when behind and it's looking the same here. Chances are getting hard to come by while Algeria are improving by the second

00:58: Substitution - Lukaku is taken off, the young Origi is given a chance
00:57: Corner finds Mejdani's head, just wide of the post
00:55: Mbolhi is keeping his team in the lead as he punches another incoming missile
00:49: Corner whipped in from Mertens, Mbohli gloves it but it's straight to Witsel who heads it over
00:46: Substitution - Halftime change for Belgium, Chadli goes out and Mertens comes in

Halftime - Algeria are delighted by their performance and Belgium needs some boost to get back in the game

00:44: Mbolhi blocks a hit from Chadli from inside the area

Algeria is playing very deep now and it's becoming tough for Belgium to come forward

00:34: Yellow Card - Bentaleb commits a foul on Dembele and is booked
00:25: Goal - Feghouli scores the penalty - 28 year old drought is no more
00:24: Yellow Card - Vertonghen goes into the books for that tackle
00:24: Penalty for Algeria. Ghoulam crosses in a lovely ball but Vertonghen takes down Feghouli in the box
00:17: Van Buyten hits it powerfully on target, blocked by Bentaleb

The talented young squad of Belgium is taking on Algeria, who have failed to score in World Cup stage in the last 28 years
