(Football news) LALIGA EA SPORTS:
Coco and Nsue leave hosts on the verge
Emilio Nsue, hailing from Spain but representing Equatorial Guinea, made history by netting the first hat-trick of the tournament and has found the net five times, making him the tournament’s leading goal scorer. Saul Coco, his compatriot who plies his trade for UD Las Palmas, has formed a formidable partnership with Esteban Orozco, serving as the backbone for Equatorial Guinea’s impressive campaign. With their impressive thumping of hosts Côte d’Ivoire, the free-scoring Equatorial Guinea tops Group A, and Coco’s contributions have been instrumental in the team’s success.
En-Nesyri makes history
Sevilla FC and Morocco striker Youssef En-Nesyri etched his name into the record books of LALIGA EA SPORTS on January 17th by scoring a crucial goal in his country’s resounding 3–0 victory over Tanzania. Not only did he propel his team to success, but he also became the first Moroccan player to score in four different Africa Cup of Nations editions.
Iñaki Williams’ Ghana still missing the magic touch
Ghana, facing a precarious situation with two winless matches, looked to Iñaki Williams and co to ignite their campaign. Going into their crunch match against Mozambique, the Athletic Club stalwart had shown glimpses of his class but was yet to spark into life for the Black Stars, with Ghana desperate for a win to avoid a group stage exit. They led 2-0 with just added time to negotiate, but a late collapse saw the Mambas equalize, and the result leaves Ghana needing a miracle to avoid a group stage elimination for the second tournament running.
Hamari Traore: Real Sociedad’s maestro lighting Up Mali’s campaign
