00:00Leading Juan Micha Obiang, his second game in charge, and it's underway.
00:08Match day two here in Cameroon.
00:13Equatorial Guinea take on Sierra Leone.
00:18Group E of qualification for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
00:27On the day, Equatorial Guinea.
00:33In their traditional all-red, and it's a red-hot start here, and they scored inside a minute.
00:42They didn't score in 90 minutes against the DRC. They needed less than one
00:48to break the deadlock here in Cameroon.
00:59It's a mistake at the back.
01:01Punished immediately, Alfa Turei.
01:03Too casual.
01:05And hammered home by the man who is brought into the starting eleven, Lorenz Uniga.
01:13Number.
01:19Within shooting range it is.
01:21And that wasn't too far over.
01:32Well, appeals from the goalscorer, Zuniga.
01:35Oh, no quick throw-in taken, though.
01:46Arnie and Bomio.
01:51The other change for Equatorial Guinea.
01:53Puts the ball in.
01:55It was right onto the head of Zuniga.
02:09Tarawali.
02:09Tarawali.
02:10Found the feet of Kanu.
02:12He'll turn and shoot and find the upright.
02:16Quite get it under control.
02:22Karoma.
02:24Plenty of space here on the near side for Kamara.
02:27Cut inside.
02:30He's a teared up on the edge.
02:31Struck on the volley.
02:32Struck on the volley.
02:33Nice.
02:44Here's Santiago.
02:46NMA.
02:47Dangerous looking ball in.
02:49Didn't quite find Dorian Junekanu.
02:53He'll skip away from Bomio.
02:55So you have the pace to keep him behind him.
02:57He does.
02:58Still going.
02:59With an intentional on Artis.
03:00Teed up.
03:01Karoma.
03:02And then it was struck on.
03:03There's Kamara again.
03:06Can go either way.
03:07And it's a cut inside on that stronger left foot.
03:11Of course back to Karoma.
03:12Now back at the feet of Kamara.
03:14That's a lovely ball forwards.
03:16Just over the head.
03:18As a regular knockout stage side.
03:21Up until that most recent appearance.
03:24Quarterfinals in 2021.
03:26Beating holders Algeria.
03:28In the group stage.
03:29Alongside Saeedoubar Kamara.
03:32Unable to thread the needle.
03:35Zuniga.
03:36Zuniga.
03:37Battening away.
03:39Doesn't get his reward.
03:40Kakai.
03:41That's what the early ball in.
03:43That's going to float through harmlessly for a goal kick.
03:4946 minutes are up.
03:51And indeed there is the halftime whistle.
03:53Well a stunning start from Equatorial Guinea.
03:57We found the net through Lauren Zuniga inside 60 seconds.
04:02Red hot start from the Red Devils.
04:06From there Sierra Leone have largely dominated the ball.
04:11Away we go again then.
04:1245 minutes remaining.
04:15Sierra Leone on match day one.
04:16Threw away a 2-0 lead at halftime.
04:21This time a half to hope for a turnaround in their favour.
04:27To Finland.
04:29Aliconte.
04:30A particularly different climate to the one who currently finds himself here in Cameroon.
04:35It's pretty humid.
04:37Testing conditions for the players.
04:42At halftime.
04:44No obvious changes tactically.
04:46None in terms of personnel from either manager.
04:56It's been well worked but again it's the final ball lacking.
05:00Well over the head.
05:02Going long there.
05:04Tyrese Fauna.
05:05With his centre backs.
05:10Done well.
05:12And Camara.
05:13That's up.
05:15He's increasingly.
05:18In the second half.
05:24Got their first Camara.
05:25Kakai.
05:26Return it to Momo Camara.
05:30I think a few in the.
05:37Here's Leone Stars.
05:39Staring down the barrel.
05:41Of leaving the opening two.
05:44Qualifiers.
05:46With Nil Kuo.
05:49Good goal.
05:52It's whipped into Decenteri.
06:04Where's the quarter of the game gone now?
06:06And we might be about to see the lead doubled through.
06:09And it was unselfish from the substitute.
06:12They're still going now.
06:14Well the chance passed off.
06:16Makate.
06:18On to Obama.
06:21Couldn't quite.
06:23Find the gap between defenders and goalkeeper.
06:26To slot that into.
06:33That was a charm.
06:46Bring it away here.
06:48Another chance potentially.
06:50It's going to fall to the man who opened the scoring.
06:52Well over an hour ago.
06:54They are still dangerous on the break.
06:58Gap between keeper and near post this time.
07:01For the number 10.
07:04Well struck.
07:06There had been a gap.
07:07It was.
07:11Headed away.
07:15A chance to swing it in again here.
07:18Second time of asking.
07:20But it's great footwork.
07:21To head to the byline instead.
07:23Well.
07:24Pablo.
07:26Don't want to be doing this in their own half though.
07:29Sierra Leone.
07:29And it's been one.
07:31Tackle on Karoma.
07:34He's got it.
07:36Tees up.
07:37Makate.
07:38Into the middle.
07:39And that was a chance to win it.
07:40Again for Zuniga.
07:45Hammering the turf in frustration.
07:47Great play again from Makate.
07:49Unselfish.
07:52Accidentally left by Mbomio.
07:55Just over the bar.
07:57Long legs.
07:58But he kept them close enough together.
08:00To prevent what was nearly a nutmeg.
08:03Lovely flick there from Balboa.
08:14Fair to say.
08:15He's pretty willing to hit the deck.
08:19With that battle.
08:21Floating into the back post by Kai Kai.
08:23But yet again.
08:30There's an immediate chance to put the ball in.
08:33For Isono.
08:34Pulls it back instead from Mbomio.
08:37The tail at the other end.
08:38That one.
08:45It's Equatorial Guinea.
08:46With the ball in the finals third.
08:48Guy LaCogo.
08:50Using his fresh leg.
08:51For his country.
08:53One of his previous eight appearances.
08:57It's into the good area.
08:59But Daniel Cardew.
09:01Can't keep it down.
09:02And claim a deflection.
09:04And he applies salt to the wound.
09:05With a second.
09:06In the final seconds.
09:08Here's Okogo.
09:09Looked really bright.
09:10In his short cameo.
09:14Obama.
09:15Finds the captain.
09:16Gannett.
09:17On the edge of the box.
09:19He'll get it back.
09:21And will strike.
09:23Rather scuffed.
09:26But there's no time left.
09:27It won't matter anyway.
09:30Equatorial Guinea.
09:31Hang on.
09:32From a lead they earned.
09:33In the first minute.
09:35All the way through.
09:36To the final whistle.
09:38A first victory.
09:40For the Red Devils.
09:43Whilst for Sierra Leone.
09:46They remain pointless.
09:47After this opening.
09:50Two rounds of qualifiers.
