00:00 and try and take one on one or shoot from a distance
00:04 We wait for the countdown and off we go
00:09 Equatorial Guinea in the red
00:10 Four points in the bag
00:13 Côte d'Ivoire have got three
00:15 He's the mayor of a town close by these days
00:17 Long range shot, well wide a goal
00:19 The excitement of this competition
00:26 65 goals in the 24 games up to now
00:29 We're at an average of 2.7 goals per game
00:32 Jack back here, Kouame with a little flick
00:38 I think there's no one close to the goalkeeper
00:41 They get those balls the way they did in 2009
00:44 You know, the Aikete, he's a very strong, powerful, skillful player
00:48 Believe me, when he gets those balls in those six positions one on one
00:52 He will kill any...
00:53 Best return 1962, 4.5
00:57 They only had four games
00:59 And of course there were no defenders in those days
01:01 Here comes Côte d'Ivoire, chance for the opener
01:05 Pepe plays it across, looking for Fofana
01:08 Look at all those red shirts back
01:11 Kone into the middle, keeper, Fluff to the edge, has a chance
01:15 Wild effort from Diakite, Aguai, to Kouame
01:19 Look at all those red shirts back
01:22 Kone into the middle, keeper, Fluff to the edge, has a chance
01:27 Wild effort from Diakite
01:29 Try and shoot or lay it off for his teammate, not too far away from him
01:33 And you know, with the shout, you know, he can control the ball
01:36 And try and shoot or lay it off for his teammate
01:40 As a young player, you're anxious when you have an opportunity like that
01:49 Thinking that, okay...
01:50 [Commentary]
01:57 Now, needs a first good touch
01:59 Pepe, sweeps, Pepe, chance here
02:02 Saved by Orodo
02:04 Pepe, sweeps, Pepe, chance here
02:08 Saved by Orodo
02:10 What a good opportunity there
02:14 Pepe stayed on his feet, he might well have gone down
02:16 [Commentary]
02:34 Fofana inside, great pass to Savardari
02:36 Pepe, good first touch there
02:38 Fofana, across the face, goal
02:41 And there comes Fofana, he takes over from Diakite to Pepe
02:45 Good first touch there, Fofana, across the face, goal
02:49 And too close for the keeper
02:51 [Commentary]
03:07 And Nigeria top the table
03:09 [Commentary]
03:15 Ivan, ball still in play
03:16 Has a look up and Swayo's in the middle
03:18 Hardly any service in this game now
03:22 Kapo into the penalty area
03:23 This might be a chance, it's a goal!
03:25 It's an excellent goal from Emilo and Swayo
03:30 Number four in this tournament for Equatorial Guineas, captain
03:34 [Commentary]
03:35 Believe it, it was all fairly simply done here
03:38 It was an excellent little run from Carlos Kapo inside
03:41 And Swayo says thank you very much
03:43 No one on top of him as well, he was given time to turn it in
03:46 [Commentary]
04:02 But the Ivorians might still sneak in
04:05 Even if they were to lose this game
04:07 But they certainly don't want to tempt fate
04:09 With all those other groups still to be completed
04:11 [Commentary]
04:15 Conan, little touch on here
04:17 Chases on from Pepe, look how quick he is
04:19 Keeps it going, ball across
04:23 For Fajda, comes in! Equalizer!
04:25 Sangare looks across at the linesman
04:30 The linesman's flag stays down
04:31 The Ivorians are right back at it
04:33 [Commentary]
04:37 Sangare has scored more goals since Jean-Louis Gasset
04:42 Took over as coach than any other player
04:44 This is his eighth since the new coach arrived
04:47 What do you think, Daniel? Pretty tight?
04:49 [Commentary]
05:01 Yeah, referee heading back now just in case
05:04 I think he knows what the call is going to be
05:06 VAR check
05:08 He doesn't need to check it himself
05:12 And offside
05:13 [Commentary]
05:23 The Ivorians attacking the goal to the right
05:26 Equatorial Guinea in the red colours
05:28 This might be an early opportunity for them though
05:32 All the big men are forward
05:33 Every single player from Côte d'Ivoire in the other half
05:36 Except the keeper, little header in there
05:38 Initially from
05:40 Wally and then back inside
05:46 It's miscued and then oh! Sangare with a wild effort
05:49 [Commentary]
05:58 All this aggression, you know, on him
06:02 [Commentary]
06:18 Shot by Coco
06:19 Rather unorthodox from the goalkeeper
06:21 But it worked nevertheless
06:25 That must be a let off for Côte d'Ivoire, surely
06:29 Down to 10 for the moment
06:30 Can the Ivorians take advantage?
06:32 Forfana
06:32 Pepe, Forfana out wide
06:35 He has Diakite
06:36 Needs a good delivery
06:37 Turn from Diakite
06:40 Little chip cross
06:41 Header from Forfana is wide
06:43 That was instinctive from Forfana
06:45 Without really realising his positioning
06:49 [Commentary]
06:51 If he was a number nine, he would know where he was
06:53 But he thought he was in front of goal
06:56 But unfortunately he was far away from the arc of the goal
07:01 [Commentary]
07:03 Diakite running at the defence again
07:05 Cuts inside
07:07 Still Diakite
07:07 To Forfana
07:09 Chadsia!
07:10 Oh what a save!
07:12 Kouame denied by Owono
07:15 Excellent stop from the goalkeeper
07:17 And Ibar and Salvador will look to clear
07:21 He says let's get going
07:22 Find Diakite here on the right
07:23 Very right-footed is Diakite
07:29 There's the cross
07:31 Little touch in from Gannett
07:33 Only as far as Indika
07:35 Konan
07:37 Now Sangare
07:39 He into the middle
07:40 Too close to the keeper
07:41 Straight through the middle here to Pepe
07:46 Holds it up for Sangare
07:48 He goes wide to Diakite
07:49 Three in the middle
07:51 Clearance away from Popu
07:53 Forfana
07:56 Left foot
07:57 Kraso
07:59 Goal!
07:59 Left footer
08:02 That's a beauty
08:03 Absolute beauty from Jean-Philippe Kraso
08:07 That's a beautiful
08:08 You know I
08:08 I have to
08:10 You have to call me the octopus
08:12 You know to the Ivorians
08:14 Well the second goal of the tournament
08:17 Kraso
08:18 Is he onside?
08:20 He might be off you know
08:21 We will have to wait for confirmation
08:26 He might be marginally offside
08:30 That's a lovely left-footed finish
08:31 Free is going back
08:32 I think that's going to be chalked off
08:34 Once more
08:35 Offside
08:38 Yeah
08:38 No goal
08:41 Vamos says Medanda
08:46 Kraso
08:47 It was it was marginally offside
08:50 But it was off
08:51 Yeah it was
08:51 I thought there was a deflection
08:53 You know before the ball got to him
08:55 But no he's
08:56 There are three players who are wild wild wild
08:58 You know offside
09:00 But at the same time you know
09:01 This is a boost for the team and a boost for the fans
09:03 Morgan
09:06 Goalkeeper comes
09:08 He gets it at the second attempt
09:10 Not all that convincing
09:11 So can they get a second here?
09:23 They can!
09:24 Oh my word!
09:26 Pablo Gannett
09:28 Clocked in 1-0
09:31 Equatorial Guinea 2
09:33 Absolutely superb
09:34 Look at this again
09:35 Curls away
09:36 No chance for Fana
09:37 This is a sensational game
09:41 No it is a sensational game
09:42 You know if you are neutral
09:44 Like we are sitting up here and enjoying this game
09:47 This is a beautiful game of football
09:49 I just like the energy that Fana brings into during the water break
09:56 At the end
09:56 Oh we could be up for another one
09:58 Medanda
09:59 Enzueyo
10:01 Number three
10:02 Oh my word
10:04 Unbelievable
10:08 Emelio Enzueyo
10:10 With yet another
10:11 He's got five in the tournament
10:13 They have now and he might end up scoring another goal
10:16 Equatorial Guinea might end up scoring another goal
10:20 This is how possession was turned over
10:22 I'll tell you what Daniel
10:23 No host nation has ever been humiliated this way
10:26 And at Africa Cup of Nations finals before
10:29 This is absolutely sensational
10:31 And so simply done too
10:34 Carb cool collected
10:35 It's a team effort
10:37 Football is a team effort
10:38 You know that you cannot hit the ball behind the net
10:40 You look for your teammate and who should you look for better
10:43 A player that's already scored four goals in the tournament
10:45 And who is a good quality finisher
10:48 You can get six before the end of the tournament
10:50 Now here the Evorians
10:52 Seco for Fana
10:55 Wide again
10:56 It's just not going for them
10:58 Last move for elimination
11:01 Here's the Evorians
11:02 Up wide to Diakite
11:06 It's been the one bright light for the Jeremy Borger
11:09 Seco for Fana
11:10 Strong enough to hold off to the byline
11:13 Lays it back
11:13 It's full
11:14 It won't go in
11:15 How much more do they have to do?
11:19 Evorians, you know what during this tournament
11:22 And none of them gave the team any chance
11:26 You know it's strange
11:27 Because normally when you are the host
11:29 You know when you speak to people
11:30 You can hear from them that
11:32 No we're gonna win it
11:33 We're gonna win it
11:34 But I've spoken to a lot of fans
11:37 Even before
11:37 Pre-out of this game today
11:39 Adigle and Goodell are on
11:43 Max Goodell by the way
11:44 Here he is in possession
11:45 Has scored twice against Equatorial Guinea in the past
11:47 Including in the last tournament
11:48 Can he do it?
11:49 Yeah!
11:50 Drives it across goal
11:51 Still not going in
11:54 Away comes Siafa
11:56 Tearing down the Italian base striker
12:02 Taking it into the Evorian half
12:04 Punched away
12:05 Number four
12:07 Scored by Yannick Bouliard
12:11 Careful taking measure of finding
12:14 You know the Evorian association
12:17 Punched away by Fofana
12:20 And Bouliard wasn't the cleanest of finishers
12:22 But everything has gone right for them
12:24 He almost scuffed that ball
12:25 But scuffed it into the back of the net nevertheless
12:29 The ball hit the back of the net man
12:30 That's what really matters
12:31 And the young man
12:33 The bulky strong blonde haired player
12:36 Has gotten his name on the score sheet
12:37 In the African Cup of Nations
12:39 Still they keep playing here
12:48 This is sensational stuff from Equatorial Guinea
12:50 Here's to number five
12:52 There was a chance there
12:55 You think of Kahlou, Bonaventure and Solomon
12:58 I wonder what they're all making of this today
13:00 Go way back
13:02 The Youssef Fofana, the Abdullah Thiyouri and Abdelhamid Ghamani
13:05 There was a lot of quality when it comes to the Evorians
13:09 But you know if a team
13:11 They're going to find it
13:12 There it is
13:13 It's all over
13:14 4-0 to Equatorial Guinea
13:18 This is Hollywood stuff
