Afcon 2015: Star players, prizes and stats from Equatorial Guinea www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/30909221The opening round of group games at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations has delivered penalty misses, last-gasp winners, no goalless draws and some man-of-the-match presentations with a twist. The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has given fans the chance to hand out awards to the chosen star man in fixtures, but have they gone to the right players? Here, we put forward the round-one stars chosen by you, our reporters on the ground in Equatorial Guinea and African football's governing body. BBC Sport's Matthew Kenyon from Mongomo: A couple of inspired moments from Mame Biram Diouf in Senegal's smash-and-grab win against Ghana. He might have been a bit lucky with his equaliser - but what about the bicycle kick which forced Ghana keeper Razak Braimah into a spectacular save? His attitude inspired the team. |

What annoyed me was that during commentary of the game he scored and assisted in - he was referred to as that striker 'who didnt make it at Man United'
then said nothing about him being a current striker with Stoke City - insular bastards !
(he missed an absolute sitter in that game too - smashed a driven low cross over the bar when it was an easy side foot in the corner )

Hopefully Diouf come home to the Brit with bags of confidence.
I think Senegal will win it, got a great little squad

Pity his overhead kick didn't hit the back of the net.
