#	Group C	Conf	P	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	Pts
1	Ghana ★★★★ 5 1Ghana and Algeria both finished on 6 points; despite Algeria's superior overall goal difference (+3 vs Ghana's +1), Ghana placed 1st because CAF's tie-break for two teams level on points starts with their head-to-head result, which Ghana won 1-0.	CAF	3	2	0	1	4	3	1	6
2	Algeria ★★ 1 2Ghana and Algeria both finished on 6 points; their head-to-head (won by Ghana 1-0) was the decisive criterion despite Algeria's better overall goal difference.	CAF	3	2	0	1	5	2	3	6

2	Guinea 1Guinea and Mali both finished on 3 points with identical goal difference (0) and identical goals for/against (3/3); their head-to-head was also a 1-1 draw, exhausting every CAF tie-break criterion, so the placing was decided by a drawing of lots (29 January 2015, Hilton hotel, Malabo) — Guinea won the draw and placed 2nd.	CAF	3	0	3	0	3	3	0	3
3	Mali 1 2Guinea and Mali were fully identical on every criterion, including their head-to-head (1-1); the placing was decided by a drawing of lots — Mali finished 3rd. Mali's coach publicly criticised deciding the tie this way.	CAF	3	0	3	0	3	3	0	3
