    Based on this performance, Equatorial Guinea are showing the watching world just how good they are. They have given as good as they have got and deserve to be on level terms here.

    Equatorial Guinea play some Senegal-style football on the edge of the area with some neat passes before Jannick toe-poked the ball home.

    That has woken up the Equatorial Guinea fans in the stadium - will it wake up their players or urge Senegal in to action?

    Emilio Nsue is desperately close to turning home Carlos Akapo ball across the box at the back post. He stretches but just can't reach it. This is a complete turnaround now.

    What a moment for Equatorial Guinea. What a through ball, touch with his left and it's too quick for Edouard Mendy to react. What a finish. Game on!

    Who needs a penalty?! Equatorial Guinea equalise from open play.

    Pablo Ganet picks out Jannick Buyla in the box. He controls the ball with his left and hammers it across the keeper into the far bottom corner with his right.

    There is a lack of consistency with these penalty decision but in his defence the arm was by his side, it wasn't in an unnatural position, and that is why the decision has been overturned.

    Will that give Equatorial Guinea encouragement they can cause Senegal problems - or will it give Senegal a boost that they've had the reprieve? No proper attacks for either side since then.

    We all know by now what happens as soon as the referee is called to look at the screen. Equatorial Guinea can count themselves unlucky there.

    I couldn't see VAR overturning that one. It hits him straight on the hand.

    Senegal 1-0 Equatorial Guinea

    It's very tiring keeping up with what is and isn't handball these days. It was close range and the arm was quite near the body. That's why it wasn't given - but you have seen those be penalties before.

    Equatorial Guinea players are still complaining about that decision.

    The referee goes to the monitor. How far was the defender's arm from his body? Not very far.

    Equatorial Guinea have just found a bit of composure but they're going to have to create more chances.
