The World Cup Africa Qualification match between Sao Tome and Principe and Equatorial Guinea was a closely contested battle that ended with a narrow 3-2 victory for Equatorial Guinea. Initially, Sao Tome took the lead, displaying efficient finishing with their only shot on target in the first half resulting in a goal. However, Equatorial Guinea's tactical adjustments paid off in the second half, leading them to overturn the deficit and secure the win.

A significant factor in Equatorial Guinea's success was their dominance in set-piece situations, demonstrated by their 12 corner kicks compared to none for Sao Tome. This dominance in attacking set-pieces continually kept Sao Tome's defense under pressure and contributed to their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities. In contrast, Sao Tome struggled to create substantial chances, partly due to their five offside calls, which disrupted their offensive momentum.

Both teams were disciplined with no red cards shown, though Sao Tome's two yellow cards highlighted their attempts to cope with Equatorial Guinea's attacking prowess. Despite committing more fouls, Sao Tome's defensive tactics weren't enough to prevent Equatorial Guinea's comeback. Equatorial Guinea's tactical discipline, alongside their superior ability to generate and exploit set-piece opportunities, ultimately dictated the outcome of this hard-fought encounter.
