At the 2012 African Cup of Nations , Guinea won 6-1 against Botswana , which is the first time in 42 years that a team at the African Cup of Nations won a game with a five-goal difference, but the defeat against Mali and the draw against Ghana meant that Guinea was already eliminated the preliminary round.
