EQUATORIAL Guinea coach Gilson Paulo says they are not scared of facing Ivory Coast in Saturday’s Africa Nations Cup quarterfinals in Malabo.

Equatorial Guinea finished second in Group A after losing 1-0 to Zambia to set up a quarter-final clash with Group B leaders Ivory Coast.

"Ivory Coast are favourites but we are not letting that get in our way. We want to prepare well for the game and take it on from there.”
