CABINDA, Angola: Algeria clawed back from the brink of elimination to stun title favorites Cote d'Ivoire 3-2 on Sunday and reach the Africa Cup of Nations semifinals.
Earlier, in Sunday's first quarterfinal, hosts Angola crashed out, losing 1-0 to World Cup-bound team Ghana, to end their dreams of winning the title on home soil.
Winners Algeria fell 2-1 behind on 89 minutes to a brilliant Abdulkader Keita goal only for Madjid Bougherra to level in stoppage time and unmarked substitute Hamer Bouazza headed a 92nd-minute far-post winner.
