Baghdad Bounedjah's 95th-minute equaliser salvaged a second point for Algeria with a draw against Burkina Faso at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Mohamed Konate's header put the Stallions ahead just before half-time.
Bounedjah levelled from close range six minutes after the break but Bertrand Traore's penalty restored Burkino Faso's lead 20 minutes later.
With the two-time champions on the brink of defeat, striker Bounedjah rose highest to rescue them in added time
The result leaves Group D finely poised, with Burkina Faso, who beat Mauritania through Traore's 96th-minute penalty on Tuesday, second and level on four points with leaders Angola following the Palancas Negras' 3-2 win over Mauritania later on Saturday.
Algeria - champions in 2019 - will be eliminated if they lose or reliant on being one of the four best third-placed teams in Ivory Coast if they draw their third game against Mauritania in four days' time (20:00 GMT).
