It will be a huge blow for the host nation to crash out of the ongoing Africa Youth Championships, which is why Algeria are banking their hopes on a win against Ghana in the last group game.

To be played on Friday, Algeria desperately need to beat Ghana's Satellites following their inability to beat Egypt on Tuesday. It is the only way into the semis, and potentially a place in the next u-20 World Cup.

"We were looking for a positive result against Egypt because Algerian fans won't accept a loss on Friday," French coach Jan Marc Nobilo said.
