Reigning champion Algeria is in danger of an early exit from the Africa Cup of Nations after a shock 0-1 defeat at the hands of outsiders Equatorial Guinea in Douala on Sunday.
Esteban Obiang’s 70th-minute goal gave Equatorial Guinea the victory and brought Algeria’s 35-game unbeaten record crashing to an end.
The 2019 Cup of Nations winner could only draw 0-0 with Sierra Leone in its opening game in Cameroon and is now left needing to beat Ivory Coast in its final Group E outing on Thursday if it is to advance to the last 16.
