Players to Watch

Lorenzo Zúñiga (Equatorial Guinea)

Lorenzo Zúñiga will be looking to step up his game and help his side stand a chance against the Fennecs. Even though he has not scored any goals in the ongoing campaign of the AFCON, Zúñiga will still play a crucial role in the attacking front for the Equatorial national football team.

Riyad Mahrez (Algeria)

Riyad Mahrez was once again on the scoresheet for the Algeria national football team. He converted an important spot kick, which helped his side secure three more points and a round of 16 berth. The Al Ahli forward is going to be a menace to the opponent’s defence. He looks in good touch at the moment.
