Both could not make a goal in full time , then in Extra time at 92 minute Muller provides the assist and Schurrle the goal! Muller showed his speed on a sideline run and provided a perfect cross. Schurrle, also rushing forward, got a half-step ahead of his man and made no mistake on the finish. Astonishing! Again at 121 minute Bandaged Feghouli provides the cross and Djabou slides in for the finish .which made Germany win by 2-0. Germany advanced past Algeria in the Round of 16 at the World Cup on Monday in Porto Alegre, Brazil. But not before getting an almighty scare from the big underdog Algeria in a game that went to extra time.
Algeria's tactic of lobbing long balls seemed to flummox the German defense, which looked slow compared to the fleet Algerians. Islam Slimani had several good chances to score and only the wide-ranging keeping of Manuel Neuer kept him from doing so.
Though Germany reasserted itself defensively in the second half, it too could not find the net, as the top scorer Thomas Müller was stymied several times by the acrobatic saves of Algeria keeper Rais M'Bolhi.
