- Algeria drew 3-3 with Austria in a Group J World Cup match that featured injury-time goals from both sides
- The point secured by the late draw sent both teams through to the World Cup knockout stages while eliminating Iran from the tournament
- Coverage consensus: BBC Sport's headline echoes the same angle — 'Algeria and Austria both qualify for last 32 after dramatic injury-time goals' — with no outlet downplaying the injury-time drama
Why it matters: Iran's exit means three teams from the group advanced in the way they each needed, but the headline consequence is that Algeria and Austria reach the last 32 while Iran goes home — a result sealed by the 3-3 scoreline in the dying minutes.
