Pre-tournament fifth favourites with some bookmakers, they looked anything but for 69 minutes.
They were rocked in the 24th minute when forward Feghouli was hauled down by Vertonghen in the area as he aimed to convert Faouzi Ghoulam's cross.
The Valencia player recovered to sidefoot a tame penalty past another Blues player Thibaut Courtois, who dived the wrong way. That was Algeria's first World Cup goal since 1986 - 506 minutes of football.

The pattern changed with the Belgium substitutions. First to test the goal was 19-year-old Lille striker Divock Origi, who forced a brilliant low save from Rais Mbolhi.

Gaps began to grow in a tiring Algeria defence, and a **fresh ** Fellaini took advantage of that when he outmuscled marker Carl Medjani and flicked his effort beyond the reach of Mbolhi.
- outmuscle: to dominate or defeat by means of superior strength or power
The winner came from a move that showed off Belgium's attack at its best.
De Bruyne tackled Feghouli in his own half and when the ball found its way to Hazard on the left, the PFA young player of the year sped down the wing and fed Mertens(喂球), who slammed his shot high into the net.
- tackle 搶斷
Belgium almost grabbed a third through Fellaini, but Mbolhi produced another good save from point-blank range.
Belgium coach Marc Wilmots:
"It was a tough match but we were patient throughout and at the end we were rewarded.
"We stayed calm after doing a small mistake in the first half. We got a new momentum. We saw that Algeria were getting more and more tired. At half-time people were a bit down, but I said 'don't worry, we will score and we will change totally the match'."
** momentum 勢頭
Algeria coach Vahid Halilhodzic:
"It's a major disappointment. I would have liked to have a couple of tougher and more resilient players to resist their attacks but I don't have much of a choice.
"We missed a great opportunity here. But in the second half it was a bit tough. We left too much space to the Belgian team and the two goals scored against us were to be expected."
