AFCON 2023: Four countries qualify for quarter-final

At least two quarter-final games at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations have been confirmed.

This comes after the completion of the two Round of 16 matches on Sunday.

In the first game, Guinea secured a 1-0 victory over Equatorial Guinea right at the death.

Federico Bikoro was sent off in the 55th minute of the game, ensuring that Equatorial Guinea, who finished top of Group A, played for most of the game with 10 men.

However, they held firm until the last moments of regulation time when Mohamed Bayo headed in the winner.

Guinea will now face Congo DR in the last eight.

The Congolese needed penalties to overcome Egypt after their game ended 1-1 in regulation time.

The first quarter-final tie that has been confirmed is Nigeria vs. Angola.

Both teams defeated Cameroon and Namibia, respectively, to progress.
