Two goals by Emilio Nsue and another by Pablo Comise pushed Equatorial Guinea to the top of Group A and a shocking defeat for the home team which had been billed as the better side in tonight’s match.
All predictions pointed at a Cote d’Ivoire win or at worst a draw.
Cote d’Ivoire headed into the clash with Equatorial Guinea sitting third on three points after their opening night win over Guinea-Bissau was followed by a frustrating loss to Nigeria last time out.
Jean-Louis Gasset’s side needed a positive result on Monday in order to make sure of their progression, though a draw could have been enough given their current spot at the top of the rankings of the best third-place teams, with eight of those set to go through.
Equatorial Guinea though viewed as match underdogs sat at the top the group on four points after drawing with Nigeria and beating Guinea-Bissau and needed just a point to definitely advance themselves.
They have been confirmed as group winners if Nigeria don’t better their result tonight or else match their result but don’t overtake them on goal difference.
A last minute goal made it 4—0 for Equatorial Guinea and putting them squarely on top of group A and credible contenders of the AFCON 2023 trophy.
