| BATA, Equatorial Guinea - Top-ranked African team Algeria and four-time champion Ghana still have work to do to make the quarterfinals at the African Cup of Nations and avoid the severe embarrassment of an early elimination. Matt Duffy Jersey .Both have lost once in Equatorial Guinea, ensuring their final games in Group C on Tuesday are loaded with pressure.Algeria meets surprise group leader Senegal in Malabo and Ghana plays South Africa in Mongomo. For each, a win would guarantee a place in the last eight, but a draw could become complicated and bring in the tiebreaker rules to decide who progresses. Defeat means an early flight home.Algeria — as so often happens with pre-tournament favourites at the African Cup — has found the going tougher than expected. The North Africans took time to get going against South Africa, then gave up a stoppage-time goal in a loss to Ghana.Coach Christian Gourcuff blamed the field in the remote far-eastern city of Mongomo for many of his teams problems, and promised they would be more effective at the stadium in the capital city Malabo.That leaves no room for excuses against an unbeaten Senegal side that has pace, power and confidence — and needs just a point to go through.Gourcuff has had a tough time over the past week. His mother died ahead of the Ghana loss and he has faced criticism back home for his tactics. Algerias highly rated attacking trio of Islam Slimani, Yacine Brahimi and Sofiane Feghouli has yet to get going and striker Slimani will miss the Senegal game with injury, the federation said.Add in the logistical problems of the border town of Mongomo, where the Algerians hotel was more than an hour away from their rugged training field, and the squad is likely looking forward to Malabo.Some players are not happy, captain Madjid Bougherra said of the time in Mongomo. But its OK ... we are a family.For Ghana, that glorious run to the quarterfinals at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa is a distant memory.A terrible World Cup in Brazil last year has been followed by early struggles at the African Cup under former Chelsea coach Avram Grant. He had a hard introduction when Ghana threw away a 1-0 lead and lost 2-1 to Senegal with a goal in the dying seconds of its opener.But captain and lead striker Asamoah Gyan is back now after a mild bout of malaria, returning to the team to score a crucial late winner against Algeria. His presence gives the Ghanaians a major lift.Hes a great player, a fantastic player, great attitude, Grant said of his skipper. Hes fantastic in important games. Alex Cobb Jersey .Manager Brendan Rodgers told the Liverpool Echo on Friday that Sturridge pulled his calf muscle in training as he prepared to return from a five-week layoff due to a thigh strain. Steven Souza Jersey . -- The Florida Gators are first yet again this season. http://www.mlbraysstore.com/authentic-sergio-romo-rays-jersey/ . The team said Saturday that the 36-year-old Robidas is expected to miss four to six months, jeopardizing his return this season. He was injured when he slid hard into the boards in the second period of a 2-1 shootout loss to Chicago on Friday.Boston, MA (SportsNetwork.com) - The Boston Celtics began life without Rajon Rondo on a high note. Kelly Olynyk scored 21 points off the bench to lead six Celtics in double figures in a 114-98 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Rondo was traded to Dallas along with Dwight Powell on Thursday night in exchange for guard Jameer Nelson, forwards Jae Crowder and Brandan Wright, two draft picks and cash considerations. Jeff Green supplied 18 points and seven rebounds, while Jared Sullinger, Tyler Zeller and Avery Bradley each scored 14 points in the Celtics third straight win. Its tough to see him go, Green said of Rondo. He was one of the reasons I came back. We fell into a brotherhood. Sullinger pulled down 10 rebounds and Evan Turner contributed 10 points starting in place of Rondo, the All-Star point guard who ranks fourth on the Celtics all-time assists list. Shabazz Muhammad led all scorers with 26 points in the loss. The Timberwolves lost a fourth consecutive game overall and have now lost nine straight in Boston. We left a lot of points right on the rim, said Wolves coach Flip Saunders. Minnesota was also without one of its key players after Corey Brewer was traded to Houston in a three-team deal Friday. Houston traded Troy Daniels, two second-round picks and cash to the Wolves for Brrewer and Philadelphia guard Alexey Shved. Lucas Duda Jersey. Philadelphia acquired injured forward Ronny Turiaf from the Timberwolves and a 2015 second-round draft pick and the rights to Spanish League player Sergei Lishchuk from Houston. Olynyk scored 11 points in the first quarter to lead the Celtics, who shot 52.2 percent from the floor on the way to a 27-24 lead entering the second. Minnesota ended up tying the score on a couple of occasions in the second, then Boston opened it up a bit with a 10-2 run in the latter stages. Turner capped the burst with a layup to make it 53-45 before Muhammad closed the first-half scoring with a 3-pointer. The Celtics maintained an 83-77 edge after three quarters, then closed out the game with an impressive scoring run. Muhammads 3-pointer cut the deficit to 90-88 with just under eight minutes to play prior to Olynyks trey that started a 24-10 run to end the game. Green hit a 3 to extend the margin to 103-92 and the hosts coasted down the stretch. Game Notes Chase Budinger scored 19 points off the bench in the setback and Thaddeus Young added 13 points for Minnesota ... Each team committed 13 turnovers ... Bostons largest lead was 18 ... The Celtics shot 56.5 percent from the floor ... There were nine ties and eight lead changes.
