Igor Akinfeev has already cost Russia points with a mistake against South Korea, but now he's caused an even bigger problem: Algeria have equalised through Islam Slimani, and it's difficult to say that it wasn't at least partially the veteran goalkeeper's fault:
Algeria draw level, set to qualify for knockouts
Note to kids, flapping at crosses is bad.
