Koren 79

Robert Koren’s 79^th minute drive gave Slovenia victory in their opening Group C encounter in Polokwane.

Another goalkeeping error proved pivotal, as Algeria’s Faouzi Chaouchi fumbled Koren’s right-foot shot.

Desert Foxes substitute Abdelkader Ghezzal was dismissed seven minutes earlier for two bookings, having been on the field for 14 minutes.
