By Simeon Gholam Follow @@SimGholam Algeria's historic progression to the last-16 of the World Cup was somewhat marred on Thursday night, as riots broke out on the streets of Marseille. Vahid Halilhodzic's side went up against Russia in what was effectively a knockout game from Group H, and a 1-1 draw secured their passage to the second round for the first time in their history. Russia had taken the lead through a sixth-minute Alexander Kokorin header, but the African side wrestled their way back into the match, equalising on the hour through Islam Slimani.
