Two goals deep into second-half added time gave Burkina Faso a stunning comeback win over 10-man Equatorial Guinea in Group E at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Edmond Tapsoba scored the decisive goal in the final seconds of the match in Casablanca, heading home a rebound to complete an extraordinary turnaround. Remarkably, the 10 men went ahead in the 85th minute when unmarked substitute Marvin Anieboh planted a superb header into the top corner of the net from Carlos Akapo's delivery. Equatorial Guinea barely had time to regroup before Tapsoba landed the decisive blow after reacting quickest when goalkeeper Jesus Owono pushed a cross in his direction. Burkina Faso will travel to Rabat on Sunday for their second group fixture against Algeria (17:30 GMT), while Equatorial Guinea remain in Casablanca for an earlier clash with Sudan (15:00).
