Zambia and Libya played out an entertaining 2-2 draw in horrible conditions on a rain-soaked Bata pitch.

The match was delayed by over an hour, but once underway, Libya were first to adapt to the difficult surface.

Striker Ahmed Saad Osman scored early in each half, with two wonderfully taken goals for the much-improved Libyans.

Emmanuel Mayuka brought Zambia level before brilliantly setting up another equaliser for Christopher Katongo.

The Group A game initially looked like it would be called off, after the match officials inspected the soaked surface.

Co-hosts Equatorial Guinea produced one of the all-time Africa Cup of Nations upsets when reaching the last eight and dumping Senegal out of the finals.

The National Lightning left it incredibly late to earn a 2-1 win over their supposedly illustrious foes.

After Randy opened the scoring in Bata, Senegal were facing elimination until Moussa Sow's 89th-minute equaliser.

But Kily produced a stunning 25-yard drive deep into added time to send a nation into raptures.

The goal came in the 94th minute to spark frenzy among the 40,000 fans inside the Estadio de Bata, yet there was still time for Equatorial Guinea centre-back Laurence Doe to be sent off.

When the final whistle did evenutally blow three minutes later, Equatoguineans across the world were in dreamland while any watching neutrals were probably left similarly open-mouthed.

The result means Newcastle strikers Demba Ba and Pa**** Demba Cisse will be back in Premier League action earlier than expected
Well at least Jameseh and Adzil will be happy.
