Gelson Dala scored twice as Angola beat Mauritania to close in on the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Forward Dala reacted smartly to the rebound from a corner to put his side ahead, firing a shot against the turf and into the roof of the net.
Sidi Amar levelled for the Lions of Chinguetti with a dazzling run and finish two minutes before half-time.
Dala and Gilberto both struck to make it 3-1 before Aboubakary Koita's spectacular consolation for Mauritania.
The result means Angola are guaranteed to advance with a point against Burkina Faso, who also have four points and drew 2-2 with Algeria earlier on Saturday, when the leaders meet in their final group-stage game on Tuesday (20:00 GMT).
