2023 AFCON: Goals Galore As Equatorial Guinea Thrash Guinea-Bissau

By Precious Oham

A hat trick by Emilio Lopez and Jose Miranda's strike was enough as Equatorial Guinea thrash Guinea-Bissau 4-2 in a Group A fixture at the 2023 AFCON, BSNSports.com.ng reports. 

Lopez opened scoring for his side before Guinea-Bissau pulled a goal back before the half-time break. Jose Miranda restored the lead just seconds into the second half for his side. 

Just before the hour-mark, Lopez doubled the lead and then made it four for Equatorians to become the first player to score a hat trick in the 2023 AFCON. 

Despite a late consolation by Jose Correia, Equatorial Guinea held on to coast home the three points as they top Group A with four points pending the outcome of the game between Cote d'Ivoire and Nigeria.
