The players stroll out onto the turf. Algeria are not in their familiar green and are in all white. South Africa gold shirts, green shorts.
Algeria's players lock arms for their national anthem and on the bench, one of their coaching staff is in tears. One of our colleagues here sarcastically says: "he's just realised he's forgotten to record his favourite TV show..."

Image source, Kevin Prince Boateng TwitterThe former Ghana international was not involved today and probably won't be for some time after being suspended from international duty at the 2014 World Cup. He was allegedly guilty of indiscipline during the tournament.
Every major tournament for as far back as I can remember has one side of which big things are expected but fail miserably.
Algeria feel like hot property after their World Cup exploits. Their manager has changed, form has been good, but could they hit a brick wall here?
BBC Sport's Matthew Kenyon tweets from Mongomo:, external "Most multi-talented guy in Mongomo today? Senegal skipper and keeper Bouna Coundoul, who also translated Alain Giresse's press conference!"
Coundoul conceded a penalty but his side snatched an injury-time win.

Manager Ephraim Mashaba is in his second spell in charge of Bafana Bafana and the side are undefeated under him in nine matches since.
Tottenham, Leicester and Bournemouth represented in this one as Riyad Mahrez, Nabil Bentaleb and Tokelo Rantie take part...
Algeria: M'Boli, Mandi, Medjani, Halliche, Ghoulam, Feghouli, Bentaleb, Lacen, Mahrez, Brahimi, Slimani
South Africa: Keet, Ngcongca, Matlaba, Hlatshwayo, Coetzee, Furman, Jali, Manyisa, Phala, Vilakazi, Rantie
A wee bit of tournament news for you and Zambia's Nathan Sinkala will miss the rest of the tournament.
The Grasshopper Zurich player hobbled off in the 1-1 draw with DR Congo and is out with a due to a knee injury.
A wonderful image here as South Africa - joined by late president Nelson Mandela - celebrate their last success in this tournament in 1996.
It came less than a year after the nation won the Rugby World Cup.
Image source, Getty ImagesThey have only won the tournament once, like Algeria, who claimed the title in 1990.
Image source, Getty ImagesAlgeria have picked up where they left off from their World Cup exploits, where they went past the group phase for the first time and took eventual champions Germany to extra time in the second round before going out.
They have won five matches in the Nations Cup qualifiers in a seamless leadership transition as Christian Gourcuff took over as coach from Vahid Halilhodzic without missing a beat.
So who do you think is going to win this second match in Group C? Algeria or South Africa? You can vote on this page by clicking on the right of this page or by using the vote tab.
Focus switches then to Africa's top-ranked team - Algeria - as they take on South Africa.
Can the Desert Warriors live up to the hype? Or will a South Africa side described as "underdogs" in this tournament by virtually every pundit I've heard, deliver the goods?
A big thank you to Festus Abrah-Yeboah for this prosaic tweet:, external The Lions have obviously dominated the Stars so far; but no matter how fierce a Lion pounces it can never reach a Star.
That may well be true Festus, but the Lions have reached the top of Group C.
Tweet us your thoughts on that and could Ghana, Senegal, Algeria or South Africa go all the way to Afcon 2015 glory? Let us know on #bbcafcon2015.
And what do we know about our match winner? He knows where the net is and if Senegal have a player with this record on the bench, as well as Papiss Cisse, they certainly have rockets in their pocket.

Some analysis for you after that one which further underlines why the Senegal winner was deserved:
Senegal had 13 more shots and completed 156 more passes than Ghana today
Ghana only had two shots on target against Senegal, with the final one coming in the 39th minute
One of my favourite tweets of Afcon 2015 arrives from Senegal's football federation as the winner rolls in...
Image source, Senegal Football FederationFor those of you not familiar with 'street speak' (like myself), I'm told they are images of tensed biceps.
The last time Senegal were at Afcon they lost every game 2-1. So perhaps this is no surprise...
Image source, BBC StatsBBC Sport's Matthew Kenyon in Mongomo: What a noise as that goal goes in. You said there'd be a winner (I did with four minutes left) and what a way to grab three points and launch your Nations Cup campaign. Senegal are exultant - Ghana shattered. They're heading off, heads bowed. After a first half of great promise they've let the Teranga Lions back in and paid the toughest price.
Pick yourself up after that one Ghana. Brutal but probably deserved.
Avram Grant's side stopped playing after the interval and from a 1-0 lead, concede two goals in the second period to taste defeat. Full credit to Senegal who passed the ball a lot better as the game progressed and took their chances when they arrived. We have just the second win in five 2015 Afcon matches.
Image source, Getty ImagesGhana players hit the deck. Senegal players run wild. A contrast of emotion all over the field.
