Russia vs. South Korea: Live Player Ratings

Russia and Korea Republic fought out a draw in Group H of the 2014 FIFA World Cup on Tuesday, the last two teams to begin their adventure in Brazil.

At the break it was 0-0 between the two sides, with few opportunities being carved out at either end. Son Heung-Min missed the best chance for Korea, while Sergei Ignashevich's long-range free kick was as close as Russia have come.

Russia half time analysis

Akinfeev: Has had nothing to do at all.

Eshchenko: Hasn't gotten forward quickly enough to provide any overlapping threat.

Ignashevich: Solid at the back and a thunderous free kick.

Berezutski: Troubled when players run straight at him.

Kombarov: Delivery disappointing from set plays. Not as attack-minded as usual.

Glushakov: Neat, controlled, unambitious.

Fayzulin: Needs to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Should make runs from deep.

Samedov: Has been in one or two promising positions but little exciting link play.

Shatov: In and out of the game but probably Russia's biggest threat with his movement.

Zhirkov: An onlooker. Wasted a good chance.

Kokorin: No service, little running, no chances.

Russia full time analysis

Akinfeev: Spilled two routine shots and got lucky with the rebounds—before paying the highest price of all at the third time of asking.

Eshchenko: Was too easily beaten at times down the channel.

Ignashevich: Largely untroubled but too slow with his passing into midfield.

Berezutski: Similar to his partner, one should have been more pro-active.

Kombarov: Came to life at times after the break, one long-range shot.

Glushakov: Not his best game, subbed.

Fayzulin: Didn't really create enough from deep but passed the ball about nicely.

Samedov: Not enough from a key attacker in the end.

Shatov: Replaced before the hour.

Zhirkov: Poor throughout and replaced.

Kokorin: Had half-chances, worked hard, more required.

Dzagoev: Helped raise the tempo and carried the ball well.

Kerzhakov: Super-sub with his goal.

Denisov: Should really be in the side from the start.
