Nsue’s Hat-Trick Highlights Equatorial Guinea’s Commanding Win Against Guinea Bissau

Veteran striker Emilio Nsue secured a hat-trick as Equatorial Guinea emerged victorious with a 4-2 win over Guinea Bissau on Thursday, positioning themselves favorably for qualification to the Africa Cup of Nations last-16 in the Ivory Coast. Nsue initiated the scoring in the 21st minute and added two more goals in the second half, with Josete Miranda also finding the target in the Group A clash. Guinea Bissau managed to net their first goals in eight finals matches since 2017, thanks to an own goal from Esteban Orozco and a stoppage-time consolation effort from Ze Turbo. The host nation, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria were set to face off later on Thursday in the second Group A match at the Alhassan Ouattara Stadium.
