Guinea stun Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in AFCON round of 16

Guinea stun Equatorial Guinea 1-0 in AFCON round of 16

Guinea stunned Equatorial Guinea with a last-gasp winner to advance to the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations.

A game which looked to be heading for extra time was settled in the last minute of stoppage time when Mohamed Bayo headed his side into the last eight, Eurosport reports.

Emilio Nsue had earlier missed a penalty for Equatorial Guinea, who also had Federico Bikoro sent off.

Equatorial Guinea, who had lit up the tournament in the group stages, were left to rue a red card and missed penalty at 0-0 as they failed to make the last eight for the first time in four tournament appearances in their history.

Guinea will face the DR Congo in the quarterfinals on Friday.
