This includes victories in World Cup qualifying matches against Namibia and Liberia, both achieved without conceding a goal. Equatorial Guinea is additionally boosted by the presence of striker Emilio Nsue, a pivotal figure in their aspirations for success at AFCON 2021. This marks the inaugural meeting between Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations. Equatorial Guinea is making its fourth appearance in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, but it’s only the second time they have qualified as non-hosts. In their previous 15 matches at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations, Equatorial Guinea has never scored more than two goals in a single game.
