Riyad Mahrez scored twice as Algeria left it late to earn a 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe at the Africa Cup of Nations.
The Leicester winger put his side ahead with a curling shot in off the post.
But Kudakwashe Mahachi’s low shot into the corner and a Nyasha Mushekwi penalty made it 2-1 to Zimbabwe – a lead they held until the 82nd minute.
Algeria hit the bar twice before Mahrez levelled with a speculative 25-yard shot that Zimbabwe goalkeeper Tatenda Mukuruva should have saved.
“We remain positive. We’re at home, it remains a big advantage for us and this is a tournament in which we want to achieve something,” Aubameyang told reporters.
“We made a mistake (giving away a late goal) but it is now up to us to rectify the problem and win the next game.
