Co-host Equatorial Guinea, the lowest ranked team in the tournament, has made full use of home advantage to beat Libya 1-0 and Senegal 2-1 with dramatic late goals in both matches to guarantee a last-eight berth.

A draw against Zambia in the final Group A game will secure top spot. Ivory Coast will also finish first with at least a draw against Angola in the final Group B match. If both teams finish top, they can only meet in the final.

Edjogo-Owono says Equatorial Guinea is “not afraid of anyone” but acknowledges Ivory Coast is “a level above” other teams.
