Lamine N Diaye s side secured a 2-0 win in their Group C opener against Petro de Luanda last weekend in Conakry, with goals from veteran midfielder Abdoul-Aziz Nikiema and striker Yakhouba Gnagna Barry.
Thanks to their result against the Brave Warriors, Guinea lead their group that also parades Zambia and Tanzania.
Notwithstanding their good start, Gnagna made it clear that it is still very early to rate them amongst the tournament’s favourites.
“As a team, we must treat every match like a final because this will help us reach our goal,” he continued.
“I am also glad that we have very passionate fans that came to the stadium on Tuesday and cheered for us.”
Guinea will earn a place in the quarter-final should they defeat the Chipolopolo in their next outing on January 23. Zambia made a winning start to the competition, defeating the Taifa Stars 2-0 courtesy of second-half strikes from Collins Sikombe and Emmanuel Chabula.
