Late equaliser keeps Algeria hopes alive at Cup of Nations

Algeria scored an added-time equaliser in an exciting 2-2 draw with Burkina Faso in Group D in Bouake that spared the 2019 champions yet another disappointing result at the tournament.

Baghdad Bounedjah netted from a corner five minutes into added time at the end to ensure a share of the spoils and deny Burkina Faso early progress to the next stage.

Bounedjah scored both Algeria's goals while Mohamed Konate and Bertrand Traore netted for the Burkinabe, who remain top of the group on four points to two for Algeria.

The two other teams in the group -- Angola and Mauritania -- were playing later on Saturday in Bouake.
