Ghana FA Official:, external Massive show of support for #BlackStars at Stadio Mongomo ahead of the #AFCON2015 clash with @BafanaBafana tonight.

BBC Sport's Steve Crossman in Malabo: "Have you seen Mongomo? Messi couldn't make three passes on that pitch". Fair to say Algeria boss Christian Gourcuff won't be losing too much sleep about the relocation of the quarter-finals.

BBC Sport's Steve Crossman in Malabo:

Senegal boss Alain Giresse has spoken about how the carre magique (magic square) of Platini, Giresse, Fernandez and Tigana now have an input on his team. Although since the UEFA boss is too busy these days it's more a magic triangle...

"I don't speak with the President because...he's the President he's always behind his desk in his office but Luis and Jean help me out," he said. "They always watch the matches of Senegal closely and then they phone me in the evenings to talk about the game. I enjoy speaking with the other members of the carre magique."

As we saw during his time with Sunderland in the Premier League, Asamoah Gyan loves the number three. He went as far as to shave it into his head.

So what for you are football's most unique haircuts? Does the controversy of David Beckham's shaved head still trump anything else? Or is big and bold like a certain former Colombia star the one worth remembering?

Some players will be returning to British shores and English action again after these two fixtures, but will your club be blessed to have a player return?

Tokelo Rantie of South Africa could be back at Bournemouth, Mame Biram Diouf to Stoke, Papiss Cisse to Newcastle and Nabil Bentaleb to Tottenham.

You may also recognise ex-Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan today, he will lead Ghana and Porto's Yacine Brahimi (right) who won the BBC's African Footballer of the Year award for 2014.

The permutations if you're of a Ghanaian or South African persuasion:

Ghana win: They will progress even if Algeria beat Senegal as they won their meeting with the Desert Warriors so have head-to-head advantage. South Africa would stay bottom.

Draw: Ghana would be out if Algeria beat Senegal. They would have four points to Algeria's six and the same number as Senegal but lost their meeting with the latter and so exit on head-to-head.

South Africa: Bafana Bafana would reach four points. They will progress if Senegal beat Algeria. A draw in that game would be enough for Algeria as they beat South Africa and so trump the head-to-head.

There you go...simple.

This group has been tight from the start and Senegal's 93rd minute winner against Ghana early on in the tournament hasn't half come back to help them.

We have tried to break these down for you, so here is the Senegal v Algeria angle.

Senegal win: They progress, leaving Algeria on three points and they will exit.

Draw: Senegal progress on five points, Algeria would win through providing Ghana are beaten by South Africa. Algeria beat South Africa and hence their head-to-head record would be enough.

Algeria win: They would move to six points and guarantee their passage. The second spot would go to Ghana if they beat South Africa but if the latter win, they would move level with Senegal on points. The sides drew in their head-to-head meeting so goal difference would split them.

Midfielder Wakaso Mubarak starts for Ghana, while Nhlanhla Khuzwayo starts in goal for South Africa - their third goalkeeper change of the tournament so far.

South Africa XI: Khuzwayo, Ngcongca, Matlaba, Coetzee, Mathoho, Furman, Jali, Masango, Phala, Rantie, Ndulula.

Ghana XI: Brimah, Afful, Rahman, Amartey, Mensah, Acquah, A. Ayew, Wakaso, Atsu, Gyan, J. Ayew.

Three of the four English-based players in Senegal's squad start. There is no place for Papiss Cisse.

Senegal: Coundoul; Djilobodji, Mbodji, L. Sane; Mbengue, Gueye, Kouyate, Badji; Kouly Diop, Mane, Diouf.

Algeria: M'Bolhi; Mandi, Boogy, Medjani, Ghoulam; Feghouli, Taider, Bentaleb, Mahrez; Brahimi, Soudani.

And so the giant land mass that is Africa focuses on the minute west-coast country of Equatorial Guinea.

For the third day in a row, we have a straight-up shootout to get into the quarter-finals.

All four teams in Group C can theoretically reach the last eight, all have England-based players in their squads and this group is where the goals are.

They have shared 10 in three match days so far. Only Group A can equal that having played an extra round of matches.

This could be the most exciting day of Afcon 2015 so far..

BBC Sport reporter John Bennett tweets:, external Ghana and South Africa arrive at the stadium singing & dancing...

Hopefully it was Shakira.

A decisive day in the Africa Cup of Nations group stages. I can think of only one way to start...Shakira.

As her deep and hard-thought lyrics to the pop classic 'Waka Waka' outlined in 2010:

"You're on the front line - Everyone's watching - You know it's serious - We're getting closer - This isn't over.

"When you fall get up, oh oh - If you fall get up, eh eh - Tsamina mina zangalewa -'Cause this is Africa."

Gold I think you'll agree. This is Africa, this is serious and at least two teams will fall today. Well in Shakira.

(Waka Waka reached number 21 in the UK and 38 in America - deserved more.)
