8 - This is #KOR's eighth World Cup in a row (since 1986); only #BRA, #GER, #ITA #ARG and #ESP can boast a better current run. Continuity.

1 - #RUS have only kept one clean sheet in their last six World Cup games, against Tunisia on 5 June 2002 (2-0). Porous.

Howler! Akinfeev’s horrendous flap/ fist at the ball sees it slip out of his grasp into the goal! Russia 0-1 Korea Republic!

And the jokes began doing rounds on Twitter after his horror,

And Russia equalize! Kerzhakov scores immediately after coming on! Russia 1-1 Korea Republic!
