01:53this is in pain
01:54yes the channel oh yes that is catches him on the uh well he's going to the var the referee has been
02:05sent to the var so basilo indong and his continued uh participation in this game now looks to be coming
02:15to an end he is a worried figure but that's evidence is likely to see the fullback sent off for an early
02:26shower hopefully you know right you know he looks worried when the camera caught him there is no uh no
02:33doubt you know that he will be sent off you know it's a red card direct red card i think he will we
02:38drop out the yellow card and you know issue him a direct red card now let's see what referee mansoor does
02:46you're having checked he is changing his decision and the yellow will be rescinded
02:54and basilo indong will depart
03:00ondo loses out referee says play on
03:05ball inside pushing forward now with uh sangare lovely pass saved by owono
03:15these chances in the game today dango watara here's another one
03:18one straight at owono that's a pass that's a pass you know what you should be looking at you know
03:31top sober pushing forward square ball header oh there's another good opportunity and this time
03:38it falls for kabore they're knocking they're knocking
03:42so reluctance to leave the field means he's also gone into the book here comes dango water again
03:51burkina faso now on the charge looking for the opening goal
03:55and again blocked on this occasion the cover defense coming from mascarello
04:01spanish uh spanish uh under 19 international mascarello he's uh switched his international allegiance
04:14after the uh cup of nations in ivory coast he was actually asked to come and play in that
04:20tournament but uh wasn't sure about whether he wanted to commit for equatorial guinea but after
04:25seeing what he did what they did in abijani changed his mind
04:28that's muscat i'll just give me a little touch on that as well benami now
04:40played a handful of games in the top flight in france at nantes
04:45ganet they space out wide a couple the skipper is he gonna have a shot
04:51get the shot in and is not far away and you can see the frustration of a coffee
04:58see uh late confirmation also of charles ondo coming on a little bit earlier santiago and name
05:06for equatorial guinea 20 minutes for the this trio to make an impact and there it comes the goal
05:13almost immediately off the bench from la cena traore let's have a look it was knocked towards the back
05:21posts is that going to be annulled here by the egyptian referee and by the var team what's the decision
05:31offside wow that would have been a matter of inches but what a let off for equatorial guinea
05:37starry and a theory coming out you know i said it because he wasn't looking comfortable
05:44he was slipping throughout since after that tackle that got the players and off
05:52spanish father and his mother comes from equatorial guinea
05:57that's the case of many of these players as we mentioned earlier 19 of the squad born in spain
06:07i'll be feeling right at home here in morocco so close to uh the spanish frontier
06:14don't forget my uh dinner with the ferry yeah from tangier man tangier to uh spain around about an
06:21hour on the ferry 45 minutes 45 minutes and uh you're gonna have lunch in spain i did my research
06:29you are paying that's why i did the reason i'll tell you i'll make a deal with you i'll pay for the
06:33lunch you buy the ferry tickets yeah okay we're good top sober
06:49off the flank comes meningo he looks uh lively wants to get involved wants the return ball
06:55to the byline let's get that in play oh that's an excellent chance for azizki dongo what's that
07:01puts that wide over the top that's unlucky from aziz he did everything right
07:11where was the upside yeah that's
07:15he stopped the ball he brought it back in yeah there's the defender pretty much uh blocking the
07:22the goalkeeper
07:25anyway the flip left-sided defender he holds the ball pretty well so
07:30and then he you know he takes on to the uh the defenders
07:36equatorial guinea looking for the opening goal they've got it my word this is a country who keep creating the
07:44shots
07:48scores with five minutes to go sensational
07:54football and they keep pulling the surprises surprises from two years ago
07:58you know in abidjan and what a pull out from the you know from the corner kick and what a header you
08:05know that's what football is all about that's what the average company cup of nation is all about
08:10you know you're one man down you don't give up you got a player stand up but still you are in the game
08:15you still have about seven minutes six plus at a time if they can hold on what a surprise this will
08:22have been marvin anibo is only for opportunities yeah he's again heading the ball away from play
08:31under four minutes remain can they get a point top sober little ball inside charts again a little slip
08:44they pull one back
08:45the man from seattle sounders in major league soccer it's come five minutes into stoppage time
09:01it's a good pressure the pressure kept coming you know the goal came at the right time for them you
09:07know there are still three more minutes to play if the equatorial guinea could start the game probably you
09:12know another day can easily have probably another one or two chance that they can end up it's a good
09:17true pass in a good down if the ball wasn't scored i think you'll have gotten the penalty but it's a well
09:24struck you know there's the dummy you know and pull tired after his exertions in this game the crowd
09:33are willing and forward now burkina faso can they get a late winner here
09:39the defender scores burkina faso are going to win this one
09:56told you three minutes is a lifetime to play in football the way it's going with a one man down
10:00with the way pressures kept coming and now the tired legs of the equatorial guinea
10:04the club isn't it you easily can see it coming and what a way to celebrate you can see the whole
10:10of the bench dash across the pitch went straight to the goal scorer to celebrate
10:16talk about pulling the fat out of the fire burkina faso with two goals in stoppage time
10:24have turned it around here and i'm going to take the points in the opening match in group e
10:31the strong header from edmund topsober from byer leverkusen the other with this performance
10:38probably they will have a bit of notch going forward into the next game well we've had nine minutes
10:44that will be it but kenna faso win what's a result here in group e
