Equatorial Guinea inflicted a first defeat in 36 games on Algeria this past Sunday to leave the reigning champions in serious danger of a group-stage exit.

Esteban Obiang, scored the 70th-minute goal that gave his side a 1-0 win in Douala as Algeria lost for the first time since October 2018.This has ended their unbeaten streak.

Algeria launched an attack on the Equatorial Guinea goal in the last 10 minutes but Mahrez and his team couldn’t find a way past 20-year-old goalkeeper Jesus Owono.

The defending AFCON champions will now have to defeat Ivory Coast in order to qualify for the knockout stage.
