CASABLANCA, Dec 24 (Reuters) - Two ‌goals deep in second-half stoppage time saw Burkina Faso snatch a 2-1 victory over 10-man Equatorial ‌Guinea in the opening Group E match at the Africa Cup of Nations finals on ‌Wednesday.

Despite having a man sent off early in the second half, Equatorial Guinea took a surprise lead in the 85th minute through substitute Marvin Anieboh and looked on course to pull off another of the surprise results that characterised their performance at the last ‍edition of the Cup of Nations.
