<p>Angola's first win of the tournament was preceded by a close-fought 1-0 win for Algeria over Mali, setting up the group for a dramatic finish on Monday. <br />Striker Flavio scored a third goal of the tournament to put Angola ahead just after halftime and Manucho added a second soon after as the hosts banished the image of their dramatic capitulation on Sunday when they conceded four late goals to draw 4-4 with Mali. <br /><br />"We have the spirit and the right attitude and we always knew we were going to win," said coach Manuel Jose after the victory, which put Angola top with four points. <br />Malawi are second, just ahead of Algeria on goal difference, on three points with Mali on a single point, but still in with a chance of progressing to the last eight. <br />Angola showed few jitters on Thursday in stark contrast to Sunday's opening match. <br />A win over Algeria in their last game would ensure Angola stay in the capital for the quarterfinals. <br /><br />Malawi can still hope for a surprise quarter-final place, but will have to avoid defeat against Mali to stand any chance.
