Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan is not yet over a bout of malaria but a dramatic last-gasp goal after he got out of his sick bed has revived his countrys hopes at the African Nations Cup. Its a really bad disease, it really takes everything out of you. I still feel weak and I was in hospital last week and missed our first game, Gyan said. He was speaking the day after his stoppage time winner in Mongomo gave Ghana a much needed 1-0 victory over Algeria in Group C and put them right back in contention for a quarterfinal place at the tournament in Equatorial Guinea. Although I was not fit for the game, the players said they needed me and had confidence in me. I said to myself I had to sacrifice something for the team, he said.
