With the Ba's as the strike force and their number 10 and 11 on the pitch I would have expected more attacking promise and goals. The defending was shocking first half but on paper Senegal were a strong looking team who should have fought off Zambia.
Every I've said the result to have looked at me in amazement.
The other result, no one cared about tbh.

No, was just shattered. Just needed a one at the end of every.

I have never seen such blatant time wasting than in the burkina fasa vs Angola game, it was just pathetic. Refs need to start adding 10 minutes on at the end. It ruined what was in the most part a good game.

Halfway through a nice little accumulator with those two results today...

Morocco v Tunisia was a well good game, loads of chances in the highlights.

Group D:
Ghana 1-0 Botswana Mali 1-0 Guinea
Ghana played much of the second half with 10 men after John Mensah (who scored the goal in the first half) was sent off.

Possibly a first for a major tournament today - both games played in a pond.

The first game was a good affair despite the conditions, not seen the 2nd game yet.

It's still going on! Both games today were delayed 75 minutes due to the weather.

EQ have taken the lead! That will be another bonus for them!

Group A:
Libya 2-2 Zambia (a draw at last!) Equatorial Guinea 2-1 Senegal
The latter game was 1-0 after 88 minutes, before Senegal equalised. Equatorial Guinea then scored the winner in stoppage time, then had a player sent off.
Equatorial Guinea are through to the next round, and Senegal (who I had in my office sweepstake) are out.
Equatorial Guinea will top the group if they avoid defeat to Zambia.
Libya can still go through, but they will need to beat Senegal, hope Equatorial Guinea beat Zambia, and if both games are decided by 1 goal margins, then they will need to score at least 2 goals more than Zambia (if exactly 2, it will come down to red/yellow cards or even drawing of lots).

Group B:
Sudan 2-2 Angola Ivory Coast 2-0 Burkina Faso
Ivory Coast go through, Burkina Faso go out. The situation re Sudan and Angola is exactly the same as for Libya and Zambia.

Group C:
Niger 1-2 Tunisia Gabon 3-2 Morocco
Tunisia and Niger both scored inside 10 minutes, but Tunisia did not score the winner until the 90th minute. Morocco were 1-0 up until the 77th minute, when Gabon scored twice in 3 minutes. Morocco then levelled with an injury-time penalty (for handball), before Gabon scored in the 97th minute.

Group D: Botswana 1-6 Guinea Ghana 2-0 Mali Guinea raced to a 4-1 lead at half-time, and despite Botswana having a man sent off just before half time, only added 2 more goals in the second half. The permutations for the final matchday are complicated, and can be found at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Africa_Cup_of_Nations

That Gabon free kick in the 97th minute, absolute class!
