Algeria took the lead in the 26th minute when striker Islam Slimani ran on to a long upfield pass and held off two Korean defenders before guiding the ball past onrushing goalkeeper Jung Sung-ryong.
The North Africans doubled their lead just two minutes later when Rafik Halliche headed home a corner from Abdelmoume Djabou and added a third in the 38th minute when a Slimani pass found Djabou inside the box and the attacking midfielder swept a left- foot shot into the corner of the net.
