Equatorial Guinea's Emilio Nsue Outshining Star Names At Cup Of Nations
Victor Osimhen, Mohamed Salah or Sadio Mane were perhaps the most likely bets to be top marksman at this year's Africa Cup of Nations, but the entirely unexpected name leading the scorers' charts in Ivory Coast has more goals than all of them combined. Emilio Nsue, the captain of unfancied Equatorial Guinea, goes into a last-16 tie with Guinea on Sunday after netting five times in the group stage. If he keeps this up, he could break Ndaye Mulamba's record of nine in one AFCON for Zaire in 1974.
