Emilio Nsue scored a hat-trick as Equatorial Guinea closed in on the knockout stages of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations by thrashing Guinea-Bissau.

Nsue slotted in the first-half opener and struck twice after the break for the first Afcon treble since 2008.

Esteban Orozco's own goal sent the sides in level at half-time, but Josete Miranda's strike restored Equatorial Guinea's lead early in the second half.

Ze Turbo netted a consolation for Guinea-Bissau in stoppage time.

The result sends Equatorial Guinea top of Group A on four points before hosts Ivory Coast face Nigeria (17:00 GMT) and puts Juan Micha's side on the brink of a place in the last 16 following their 1-1 draw against Nigeria on Sunday.

Guinea-Bissau are bottom of the group but have the consolation of ending the record goalless run they held for a team at the tournament, which had spanned almost 14 hours of football since they scored in a 2-1 defeat by Cameroon in 2017.
