- Belmadi’s side at risk of elimination
- Ivory Coast 2-2 Sierra Leone, Tunisia 4-0 Mauritania
Esteban Obiang scored 20 minutes from time as Equatorial Guinea pulled off one of the great Africa Cup of Nations finals upsets with a 1-0 win over defending champions Algeria on Sunday.
Obiang struck from a corner as the tiny nation of 1.4million ended Algeria’s run of 35 unbeaten internationals, inflicting their first defeat since October 2018. The shock Group E result leaves Algeria bottom of the standings and needing a win in their last group game against the Ivory Coast on Thursday to stand any chance of advancing.
