Ghana 1-0 Algeria
Quadruple winners Ghana are back in contention for a berth in the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals after captain Asamoah Gyan struck deep into stoppage time to earn a 1-0 victory over Algeria.
The striker, who missed the opening 2-1 defeat by Senegal after suffering a mild bout of malaria, drilled home a long upfield punt just as a tepid clash between the continent's two heavyweights seemed to be heading for a stalemate.
The result left Ghana, Algeria and Senegal on three points in Group C, with the latter playing South Africa (0) in the evening kick-off.
Littered with errors and fouls in the first half, the game came to life after the break but produced not a single clear-cut chance before the talismanic Gyan struck to ease the pressure on Ghana coach Avram Grant, the former Chelsea boss.
