Algeria 1-1 Austria Half Time Thoughts: Arnautovic Opener Cancelled Out By Belghali Strike

With both sides only needing a draw to guarantee their qualification to the knockout rounds, Algeria's match against Austria has certainly entertained.

It was the 37-year-old veteran Marko Arnautovic who found the back of the net first in Kansas controlling a high ball delicately and poking past Benbot in goal.

But relentless Algerian pressure followed with the North African foxes striking the post as Fares Chaibi's effort left Alexander Schlager beaten.

It was Hellas Verona's Rafik Belghali who levelled the scoring as the ball fortunately bounced into his path off the Austrian corner flag. The full back cut inside onto his left foot and hooked his effort into the top right corner from close range as the clock entered stoppage time.

Top and bottom of Group J already confirmed as Argentina and Jordan, Algeria need a point to progress in third place. The second half will be tense for Les Fennecs and Das Team as a loss could be costly.
