Are we going to see another 1-0 score line? Because it seems to be the only thing this competition likes to do apart from providing exciting contents on TikTok

So apart from opening match Africans can't score more than 1 goal?

Infact African team are backward

Another 1on 1 and the captain Nsue passes the ball to the Ivorian goal keeper...these guys will have themselves to blame...their fans will be biting their nails should have been at least 2-1 to the Guineans by now ..they have attacked more, created most chances, had more shots on target but have been very, very profligate in front of goal...that's how sad the situation is

Ekaka1:
These Guineans have PROBABLY just wasted their best chance in this match....

walahi
dem swear for them

I need the goals

Equatorial Guinea To score is @ 3.80

treesun:
Appearing in their first Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals as a non-host, and doing so as Group E’s lowest-ranked team, Equatorial Guinea arrive here having recently beaten a higher-ranked Tunisia side 1-0 in FIFA World Cup qualifiers. A current five-game unbeaten run (W3, D2) will now give them hope they can extend their unbeaten record across AFCON group campaign openers (W1, D1).
With a playoff spot available for the four best-placed third-ranked teams, ‘National Thunder’ will hope for an early strike, having won the last six matches to see them score the match opener. With five of those games being decided by a single-goal margin (including four 1-0 results), the opening goal could prove critical.
Two-time AFCON champions Ivory Coast are looking to rebuild, after experiencing the heartbreak of failing to qualify for this year’s upcoming World Cup. The 'Elephants' should still stamp their authority on proceedings here though, having marched past the group stage in seven of their previous eight AFCON appearances.
The Ivorians generally start well in this competition, avoiding defeat in each of their previous 11 openers to an AFCON finals (W6, D5). Each of those wins came via a single-goal margin, while nine of those 11 produced under 2.5 goals.
Players to watch: Ibán Salvador has been Equatorial Guinea's last scorer with each of his previous four international goals, including one in the most recent H2H. Meanwhile, Ivory Coast's Wilfried Zaha has seen each of his five goals in national colours come during wins. At club level, he has scored five goals for Crystal Palace this season, each time giving them a 1-0 lead.
Hot stat: From group stage to finals, Equatorial Guinea have failed to score before half-time in nine of their last ten AFCON matches.

Africa Yyyyyy!!!!!!!

This referree is madt

EG are playing more purposeful football than Ivory coast. They are losing chances upon chances. They are more technical than the ivorians.

Edu misses again...
Tactical change by Ivorians...they want some steel and perhaps a goal to kill off the game..Zaha is that man who has come on for the goal scorer

The Equatorial Guinea team is so poor in front of goal. They will be punished for all the glaring chances, missed

More TECHNICAL , YES, purposeful..NO (they've wasted at least 4 very glaring chances , 3 of them 1-on-1 with goal keeper) . The Ivorians on the other hand have been far less than they are hyped but have been more TACTICAL and look to runoff with a 2-0 or a 1-0 win if the Guineans continue to entertain without results

What about Awoniyi ,Ejuke , Moses ,Ihenacho misses?

Guy we were lucky yesterday

But I get it Eq Guinea had seversal one on one chances but that penalty not awarded may have affected their motivation too

AFCON and 1-0.....

Yes

Teams will start opening up more from their second games

Arsenal should just sell pepe

Another 1-0 again diz afcon self

Afcon 2021 seems to be charmed. Too many zero and 1, the language the computer understand.

How will they score with a nonsense pitch and ball

EQG 0 - CIV 1 full time...
Well done AFCON...on your achievement of most 1-0 goals in first matches

Algeria may come 3rd or 4th in this group

I think the final balls were their undoing. They were more purposeful in their football I will say. The quality of these balls should be questioned .

Enoch3721:
I expect goals in dis one bcuz dem zaha, pepe Neva enta

Bros how far na

EQG were too wasteful. Never to compared with Nigerian strikers,who would have buried, at least 2.

This AFCON and one goal per match sef...

So this match ended up finishing 1-0 despite the early goal!
Which kain Afcon be this sef?

African players are just defensive minded, I think Manchester United should consider buying a DM from African countries this time... under 1.5 everywhere

Congrats Ivory Coast!

pode:
Wetin be all these for Africa game is either the game end 1:0 , 1:1 or 0:0

Enoch3721 talk say na binary competition
Even ivory coast I was hoping on also disappointed me

ItzBIM:
Over 2.5 sure for this one

AFCON Juju: am I a joke to you?

IronGalaxy:
Another 1-0 loading..

the sins and evil of xenophobia in South Africa had made them missed out on this great tournament

This is d most boring AFCON ever. The quality of the game shows Africa doesnt even deserve 2 slots at the world cup.
