(Reuters) - Fiston Mayele equalised five minutes from fulltime as the Democratic Republic of Congo held hosts Senegal to a 1-1 draw in a World Cup Group B qualifier in Diamniadio on Thursday. Algeria won their first two qualifiers but were beaten 2-1 at home by Guinea on Thursday in another shock result. Morlaye Sylla gave Guinea the lead but Algeria equalised following an own goal from Yasser Balde before the visitors hit the front again through Aguibou Camara. The Pharaohs held on, however, to maintain their 100% start to the qualifiers as they lead Group A by four points after three rounds. Jordan Ayew scored a 94th-minute winner for Ghana to earn what could be a precious away win in Bamako following a 2-1 victory over Mali.
