Eq Guinea claims dramatic 1-0 win vs Libya Equatorial Guinea scored a dramatic late winner to shock Libya 1-0 in the opening match of the African Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Javier-Angel Balboa scored after racing onto a throughball and slotting past Libya goalkeeper Samir Aboud into the top corner in the 87th minute. The co-host threatened an upset throughout the game, with Juvenal Edjogo-Owono's deflected shot rebounding off a post in the first half. Ivan Bolado put the rebound into the net, but the effort was disallowed for offside. Despite injured captain Rodolfo Bodipo managing only a 15-minute substitute role, Equatorial Guinea belied its billing as the tournament's lowest-ranked team by matching Libya and creating opportunities.
