Algeria's forward Baghdad Bounedjah (centre) celebrates scoring his team's second goal during their Africa Cup of Nations 2024 Group 'D' match against Burkina Faso at Stade de la Paix in Bouake on January 20, 2024.
Mohamed Konate's opening goal for Burkina Faso was cancelled out by a first Bounedjah equaliser, but a Bertrand Traore penalty put the Stallions back in front to the delight of their many supporters in the crowd of over 33,000 in Bouake, Ivory Coast's second city
At that point Burkina Faso were heading through, but Bounedjah equalised a second time at the death to take his overall tally of goals to three and join Emilio Nsue of Equatorial Guinea as the tournament's joint-top scorer
Algeria, who were held 1-1 by Angola in their opening game, have two points and a win against Mauritania on Tuesday will suffice for them to advance
Bouaké, Ivory Coast
Baghdad Bounedjah headed home five minutes into injury time to earn Algeria a 2-2 draw with Burkina Faso at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday, forcing their opponents to wait to secure a place in the last 16.
