Germany were pushed all the way by an inspired Algeria on Monday before Andre Schuerrle and Mesut Ozil secured them a 2-1 extra-time victory to send them into a mouth-watering World Cup quarterfinal meeting with France.
The North African outsiders played with energy and confidence to regularly expose a static German defence but in the end the European team's power and fitness counted.
With the score 0-0 at full-time, substitute Schuerrle flicked in a low-cross from Thomas Mueller. Ozil buried the Algerian dream in the last minute -- but in a final moment of drama, Abdelmoumene Djabou grabbed a consolation goal for the brave Algerians just before the final whistle.
The victory extended Germany's remarkable record of reaching at least the quarterfinals in every World Cup they have entered since 1938 and gave them their first win in three attempts against Algeria, who were playing in the last-16 for the first time.
Now the Germans will face France in the next round.
