At 3:00 Beijing time on January 31, the African Cup of Nations quarterfinals, Equatorial Guinea challenged Senegal. Buira once equalised for Equatorial Guinea but was still out of the 1-3 crash. The race is not over, the Equatorial Guinean people will lose their souls and face the ashes, and their journey of miracles will come to an end.
This year's Africa Cup of Nations is a hotbed of unpopularity, with Algeria and Ghana being eliminated in the group stage and replaced by a number of dark horses, equatorial Guinea being one of them. In the last game, they eliminated Mali through a penalty shootout and rushed to the quarterfinals in one go.
Against big favourite Senegal, they were beaten back to their original form. In fact, Equatorial Guinea equalised at one point, and Bray's goal in the second half once brought the suspense back. Unfortunately, Equatorial Guinea ultimately had limited strength, conceding two goals in just 12 minutes and losing 3-1.
It is worth mentioning that before the game was over, the players in Equatorial Guinea had an emotional breakdown, and the whole team was like ashes, quietly waiting for the result of the game. The final whistle blew, several Players in Equatorial Guinea burst into tears, and goalkeeper Onover covered his face and wept.
However, Equatorial Guinea is only ranked 114th in the world, and it is already a miracle that they can reach the top 8. Moreover, Equatorial Guinea also broke Senegal's gold body of four consecutive clean sheets, which was enough to make them leave with their heads held high.
