Man of the Match: Algeria isn’t even in a position to play bonus football if not for M’Bolhi. The 28-year-old made 10 saves on the night, each as breathtaking as the next.

Lesson Learned: Manuel Neuer wanted to be a striker growing up. The German keeper was never shy to come off his line, sweeping away any penetration from the Algerian attack. He executed it to perfection on Monday, but a repeat performance against a more potent French side could lead to a costly error that determines the match.

Up Next: Germany is scheduled to meet with France on July 4, while Algeria returns home to prepare for the next World Cup cycle.
