What a move from Algeria!
Mahrez plays a wonderful give and go with Bounedjah and works himself a yard of space to shoot. However, his effort is dragged wide.
13'
Kessie goes on a decent run down the left but his eventual ball into the box takes a nick off a defender and M'Bolhi gathers easily.

Another big chance to the Ivorians!
Zaha leaves Bensebaini on his backside and squares it for Kodjia, who cannot sort out his feet and apply the finish from six yards out.

So close!
Gradel shifts the ball on to his right foot and takes aim. It looks like his effort is going to give his side an early lead but M'Bolhi just gets finger tips to it and tips it on to the post. The rebound came at Kodjia too quickly for the Aston Villa man to react.

Gbohouo looked susceptible from set pieces in Ivory Coast's last-16 win but there are no such problems here as Mahrez's free kick is claimed easily by the goalkeeper.
3'
A robust challenge early on as Kessie goes in late on Feghouli. Algeria have the free kick but that could easily have been a yellow card.
1'
And we're off!
Algeria immediately try to go down the attack on the right but are flagged offside.

We've had the national anthems and we're moments away from kick off!
