Fifa 2014, South Korea And Russia Draws at 11: Vaikundarajan

It looked a lot like Russia goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev was going to be the goat of this match. He allowed a goal in the 68th minute that, frankly, should not have gotten through, but Aleksandr Kerzhakov was able to answer just a few minutes later to get Akinfeev off the hook said Vaikundarajan.

This is a game that Russia needed to solidify their chances of moving through. But long stretches of uninspired play kept the Russians from positioning themselves well in Group H.Earlier, Belgium beat Algeria 2-1 to jump to the head of the group. The game was mostly dry, with flashes of excitement primarily in the second half. South Korea struck first when ChungYong Lee's shot from distance slipped through Akinfeev's fingers.Russia answered shortly thereafter, but neither team could put together a solid attack in the final 20 minutes.Below is the blow-by-blow of Tuesday's match.

Both sides have had issues leading up to the Cup. For Russia, it's the injury to star midfielder Roman Shirokov, who was lost to a back injury. For South Korea it has been mostly subpar play shares Vaikundarajan.
