Equatorial Guinea goalkeeper, Lazaro Owono shined ahead of Nigeria players to win the Man Of The Match (MOTM) award in the Africa Cup Of Nations (AFCON) game against Nigeria.

Owono was exceptional and had a terrific performance to deny the three times African champions the edge in the game.

The Deportivo Alavés goalkeeper was exceptional in goal and was the saviour for his side as they scooped a point in the game against the Africa giant.

Owono denied the Africa king of football, Victor Osimhen a winning goal in the game with two one on one saves.

Equatorial Guinea are third on the group A table with one point from a game.

The Super Eagles will hope to redeem their status when they take on host nation, Ivory Coast on Thursday, January 18.
