2015 AFRICA CUP - GROUP A - DAY 09 - Gabon vs Equatorial Guinea 0:2

Africa Cup 2015 GROUP A Quarter-Finals

Gabon vs Equatorial Guinea 0:2 

 

Equatorial Guinea, the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, went through as Group A runners-up behind Congo.

That Equatorial Guinea have made it out of their group is a remarkable achievement given their coach Esteban Becker was appointed only 11 days before the tournament.

They had been eliminated from qualifying for fielding an ineligible player and were only reinstated in the competition when the country took over as hosts from Morocco following the Ebola crisis.

Now, the side ranked 118th in Fifa's global list will get at least one more chance to thrill the home fans as they continue on their road to redemption.
