2015 is still in all the heads of the actors present on the lawn of Douala, Wednesday January 12. Year of the last title of Côte d’Ivoire, it was also at that time that the Equatorial Guinea had achieved their best course by reaching the semi-finals of the competition. On the occasion of their third participation in the CAN, the players of Juan Micha Obiang came out of qualifying for the first time. They had obtained their two previous tickets as a host. The Ivorians qualified quite quietly with five wins and a draw, and therefore start favorites on Wednesday (8 p.m.).
Eliminated from the race for the next World Cup after a defeat against Cameroon (1-0), Patrice Beaumelle’s proteges want to move forward. Sébastien Haller (Ajax), top scorer in the Champions League (10 goals in 7 games this season) appears to be the Elephants’ best asset and will try to make the powder speak.
