ALEXANDER KERZHAKOV RESCUED Russia in their first World Cup finals match since 2002 scoring two minutes after coming on as a substitute to salvage a 1-1 draw against South Korea in Group H.
Kerzhakov was brought on in the 72nd minute after Lee Keun-Ho put South Korea ahead with a 30-metre shot that Russian goalkeeper Igor Akinfeev disastrously parried over his head into the net.
The result left both countries trailing Belgium who head the Group H table after beating Algeria 2-1 earlier.
