The path to the quarter-finals necessarily passed through the penalty shootout, Wednesday, January 26. After the match between Ivory Coast and Egypt (0-0, 4-5 on pens), it is the last round of 16 of CAN 2022, between Mali and Equatorial Guinea, which also ended a goalless draw. And who gave his verdict after a penalty shootout full of twists and turns.
Before that, the players of the Nzalang Nacional had achieved a first feat by standing up to the Eagles of Mali, one of the favorites of the competition, pushing them to extra time and then to the penalty shootout. Three Malian failures later, by Haïdara, Traoré and Sacko, Equatorial Guinea could exult. After coming out of a strong group, Equatorial Guinea, semi-finalists of the competition in 2015, will be at the meeting of the quarters and will challenge a big piece again. It will be Senegal, who defeated Cape Verde (2-0).
