Equatorial Guinea's forward Emilio Nsue kicks the ball to score his team's first goal next to Guinea-Bissau's goalkeeper Ouparine Djoco during the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 Group A match between Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau

Emilio Nsue scored a hat-trick as Equatorial Guinea closed in on the knockout stages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations by thrashing Guinea-Bissau.

Nsue slotted in the first-half opener and struck twice after the break for the first Afcon treble since 2008.

Esteban Orozco's own goal sent the sides in level at half-time but Josete Miranda's strike restored Equatorial Guinea's lead early in the second half.

Ze Turbo netted a consolation for Guinea-Bissau in stoppage time.
