Both countries came from behind to win their opening encounters on
Monday and set themselves up for early qualification to the knockout
stage.Algeria, the top ranked team on the continent, take on Ghana in the first match of the double-header feature at Estadio de Mongomo, followed by Senegal's clash with the South Africans.
The group started with Senegal beating Ghana 2-1 with the last kick of the game and South Africa scoring an own goal, making a horrendous goalkeeping error and missing a penalty as they went down 3-1 to Algeria.
The two beaten teams realise the severity of their situation with Ghana's Christian Atsu, who plays for Everton, telling reporters they were severely disappointed at letting a lead slip against Senegal and determined to make amends.
