In the round of the best 16, the team led by the top scorer from Bundesliga soccer club VfB Stuttgart beat the surprise team Equatorial Guinea 1-0 (0-0) following a last-minute goal. In the quarter-finals, Guinea will face the Democratic Republic of Congo, who surprisingly knocked record winners Egypt out of the tournament 8-7 following a penalty shootout. After 90 minutes and extra time the score was 1:1 (1:1).
After a goalless first half, Equatorial Guinea’s Federico Bikoro was shown a red card for serious foul play (55′). But even with one player less, the outsider had a great chance to take the lead – but Emilio Nsue shot a penalty kick onto the post according to video evidence (68th). In the eighth minute of injury time, Guinea’s Mohamed Bayo decided the game with a header.
Meschack Elia (37th) scored the 1-0 win once morest Egypt. The favorite, once more without the injured star striker Mohamed Salah, countered before the break with a penalty kick from Mostafa Mohamed (45th + 1). In extra time, the Egyptian Mohamed Hamdi saw yellow-red (97th), and the underdog then held his nerve in a dramatic penalty shootout.
