Russia fought back to snatch a 1-1 draw with South Korea after Igor Akinfeev’s howler.
Fabio Capello’s side had a stuttering start to the World Cup in Group H, where Belgium beat Algeria 2-1 on Tuesday.
Goalkeeper Akinfeev gifted the Koreans with an opener after fumbling the ball into his own net, but substitute Alexander Kherzakov grabbed a point.
