Equatorial Guinea stun Tunisia

But a controversial penalty decision in injury time handed Equatorial Guinea a lifeline.

Spain-born striker Javier Balboa, who was once on Real Madrid’s books, scored and sent the game into extra time and towards an ecstatic, and violent, conclusion.

Tunisia’s players could scarcely believe what was happening. Punches were thrown behind the referee’s back as play acting ruined the game’s fluency.

The Democratic Republic of Congo also made it to the semifinals after a dramatic 4-2 victory over Congo.

With the game tied 0-0 at half time there appeared to be little danger of a six-goal thriller. But the game burst into life in the second half.

Congo raced into a 2-0 lead before a stunning comeback saw the Democratic Republic of Congo score four times without reply. They will now play the winner of Ivory Coast and Algeria, who also play Sunday.
