Equatorial Guinea Eliminated from AFCON After Sudan Loss
National team exits tournament pointless following 1-0 defeat to Sudan, with goalkeeper Jesús Owono's solid effort not enough to prevent early exit.
Key Points
- Equatorial Guinea lost 1-0 to Sudan in Group D, following opening defeat to Burkina Faso.
- Team now pointless and cannot qualify for knockouts, even with Algeria win.
- Goalkeeper Jesús Owono performed well but conceded the decisive goal.
- Owono's availability for FC Andorra's Jan 4 opener vs Ceuta uncertain.
Equatorial Guinea's national team, with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono in goal, exited the Africa Cup of Nations after a 1-0 loss to Sudan in their second Group D match.
The defeat on Sunday followed an opening-day loss to Burkina Faso, leaving the side pointless and unable to qualify for the knockout rounds, even with a win over Algeria in their final group fixture on Wednesday, January 31.
Owono put in a solid performance but could not keep a clean sheet as the Equatoguineans were eliminated early from the tournament.
His availability remains in doubt for FC Andorra's 2025-26 season opener against Ceuta on January 4, given the ongoing international schedule.
