In a tournament otherwise devoid of shock results in the first couple of group stage rounds, Equatorial Guinea suffered an upset against Sudan in game two.
They were duly eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations, leaving Sudan to battle it out with Burkina Faso for second place while they help warm Algeria up for the round of 16.
It isn't the way Juan Micha will have planned out the National Thunder's third match but the first two were disastrous.

Watch Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria from anywhere
A good VPN is your ticket to the game, even when youre abroad.
Most streaming platforms have geo-restrictions that prevent you from watching your usual subscription services from another country. A Virtual Private Network helps you get around this problem by changing your IP address, making your laptop, tablet or smartphone appear to be in a different country. That means you can watch your usual streams, even when youre a long way from home.

Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria: Preview
At the end of Equatorial Guinea's loss against Sudan, captain Carlos Akapo was face-down on the pitch, shirt pulled over his head, furiously kicking his feet and beating his right fist against the turf.
The self-inflicted nature of their failure won't be easy to shake off. Losing 1-0 to Sudan in the second match was the more unexpected result but not the most damaging one.
Equatorial Guinea's loss against Burkina Faso after taking a lead into the fifth minute of time added on was a heartbreaking way to start the tournament and they never recovered.
Algeria, Equatorial Guinea's opponents in Rabat on New Year's Eve, have had it all their own way up to this point.
Riyad Mahrez scored in the second minute of their opening game against Sudan and they breezed through to a 3-0 win.
Mahrez scored from the penalty spot to give Algeria a second win against Burkina Faso in the meeting of the top two seeds in Group E and secure their progress as group winners.
Winning the group means Algeria will stay in Rabat for the remainder of their tournament even if they go all the way.
Vladimir Petkovic's men have been enthusiastically backed in Morocco so far. One suspects many more Algerians will join the party as the knock-out rounds go by.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Equatorial Guinea 0-3 Algeria
A dead rubber it may be, but Algeria haven't conceded a goal yet and they won't want to start now.
