The painting is complete and it is quite unexpected!
The fault of the Equatorial Guinea team which, like that of Gambia the day before against Guinea (1-0), created the surprise in the round of 16 of the 33rd African Cup of Nations (
CAN 2022
).
The Equatorial Guineans dismissed Mali on penalties (6-5, 0-0 after extra time) and at the end of the boredom, this January 26 in Limbé.
Malians that the Senegalese were expecting with firm feet in the quarter-finals of this CAN 2022. But it is not a West African derby that we will witness on Sunday January 30.
It will be a reunion with an Equatorial Guinean selection that surprised Senegal 2-1 during CAN 2012.
Blank score, sterile extension and penalty shootout: this is also the progress of the meeting between Ivorians and Egyptians, this Wednesday in Douala.
A meeting whose antihero was defender Éric Bailly, author of a completely failed shot on goal.
A qualification 5 shots to 4 (0-0 AP) which allows the Egyptians to join Morocco in the quarter-finals.
Moroccans who had enforced the hierarchy against Malawi, 2-1.
This North African shock, scheduled for Sunday, will be the best poster for this next round, with a Burkina Faso-Tunisia (Saturday) which also looks very undecided.
