A last-gasp Kily screamer saw Equatorial Guinea shock Senegal 2-1 in their African Cup of Nations Group A match - sending Senegal out and the co-hosts into the quarter-finals.After a dreary first half the co-hosts, made up largely of semi-pro players from Spain's lower leagues, went for pre-tournament favourites Senegal and were rewarded when Randy met Kily's fine cross with a 62nd-minute header.Senegal, for whom star player Demba Ba was disappointing, threw everything at the Equatoguineans in the latter stages, and drew level with a minute left when substitute Moussa Sow finished from close range.But in their eagerness to win the match Senegal left huge gaps at the back and, deep into injury time, a stunning long-range drive from right-back Kily sent the home fans and players into delirium.Equatorial Guinea - who had never qualified for an African Cup of Nations - now have six points, having won their opener 1-0 against Libya; Senegal's second defeat means they cannot qualify, with Zambia on four points following a 2-2 draw with the Libyans.
