After a first day already full of emotions in Ivory Coast, the African Cup of Nations continues this Thursday, with the start of the second day for the teams in Group A. After its encouraging start, Equatorial Guinea will want confirm, at 3 p.m., against Guinea-Bissau, who will not have the right to defeat if they want to continue dreaming of a round of 16.
During the opening match of the competition, the Lycaons lost to Ivory Coast (2-0), the host country, by being clumsy in front of goal and too tight physically.

A draw which was celebrated as a success by the quarter-finalist of the last edition, who will now have to continue his momentum against an opponent within his reach.
