Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan struck a dramatic late winner to keep alive his side’s hopes of reaching the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals.
In a game of very few chances, Gyan snatched an unlikely victory when he latched on to a long ball and angled in a drive in stoppage time.
Algeria missed the only other clear chance when Nabil Bentaleb side-footed well wide from 12 yards on 20 minutes.
The game had looked set to remain goalless until Gyan’s late strike.
