Africa Cup of Nations 2012 update! 1/22/2012.

Well in Group A we've already had action as Zambia took a surprise lead against Senegal in their first match and proceeded to fight to a 2-1 victory! Already up 2-0 by the half, all the Zambians had to do was hold on: they did just that as they only allowed Dame Ndoye to bring Senegal one back. The lead for Zambia was developed by Emmanuel Mayuka and Rainford Kalaba. Meanwhile, co-hosts Equatorial Guinea were able to get things off to the right start with a 1-0 edging of Libya in their opening match. Javier-Angel Balboa Osa was the man who grabbed victory from the very edge of a draw with a strike in the 86th minute that the crowd loved. With these results, Zambia take the top of the table by goal difference while Equatorial Guinea take 2nd. Libya are in 3rd position while Senegal are surprisingly in 4th! Expect a lot more action in this exciting group! Also happening today is Group B's opening round of matches with the Ivory Coast currently leading Sudan 1-0 while Burkina Faso and Angola play later. Enjoy the matches!
