BATA, Equatorial Guinea, Jan. 26 (Xinhua) -- Equatorial Guinea and Republic of Congo on Sunday became the first teams to qualify for the knock out stage at the on-going Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament here.
The hosts scored through Javier Angel Balboa's second half penalty (55) and another goal by substitute Ivan Edu Salvador to beat Gabon 2-0 at the Bata Stadium.
Coach Claude Le Roy's team also humbled 2013 finalists Burkina Faso 2-1 in another Group A match.
After a scoreless first half, the Equatorial Guinea team cheered on by the home fans pushed upfront in numbers. Balboa made a driving run before surging into the Gabon penalty area. Gabon defender Lloyd Palun clipped him in the box and the referee awarded a penalty that he confidently converted.
Two minutes later Raul Lvan Fabiani Bosio almost made it 2-0 for the hosts but Gabon's goalkeeper Didier Ovono Ebang was up to the task and saved the shot.
Gabon's top player Emerick Aubameyang continued to trouble the Equatorial Guinea defenders, but got no way through to score.
Later Salvador got his chance when he capitalized on a Balboa cross to make it 2-0. It was all celebrations after the final whistle for the hosts.
Each of the teams had two players cautioned with Johann Obiang and Palun getting booked for Gabon, while Equatorial Guinea' s Iban Travieso and Ivan Zarandona also went into the referee' s book.
At the Ebebiyin Stadium Thievy Bifouma's 51st minute goal and another by Fabrice Ondama were enough to give Republic of Congo a 2-1 win. Le Roy's team finish top of Group A with seven points, while the hosts Equatorial Guinea are second on five points.
DUBLIN， Feb. 17 (Xinhua) -- Ireland's building materials giant Kingspan on Friday announced a 34-percent increase in post-tax profit to 255.5 million euros (271 million U.S. dollars) last year despite the impact of currency fluctuations.
In its 2016 financial report， Kingspan said its trading profits rose 33 percent to 340.9 million euros on the back of a 12 percent rise in revenues to 3.1 billion euros.
It said acquisitions contributed 11 percent to sales growth and 7 percent to trading profit growth in the year.
Kingspan manufactures insulation and building envelope solutions for the construction industry. It is based in Ireland but has operations in western and eastern Europe， the United States， India， Australia and the Middle East.
Kingspan said it had strong performance in the British market， a clear recovery evident in much of Western Europe with the United States more subdued in the second half.
The Irish transnational firm said its insulated panels in Britain had a strong year and that the North American market cooled off somewhat towards year end.
It added that European sales were strong in the Netherlands and France， whilst more flat in Germany.
Insulation boards had another strong year in the UK with the U.S. and European businesses making good gains， according to Kingspan.
Kingspan's chief executive Gene Murtagh said that the year 2016 was another record year for the company.
"Through our organic initiatives and acquisition strategy we are developing a truly global business well placed to capitalise on the transition towards a lower energy future，" he said.
"We are encouraged about the outlook for the first half of 2017， with the current order book solidly ahead of the same point last year. With low debt levels and strong cash generation we retain the flexibility to invest in new opportunities as they present themselves，" he added.
The Motor Trend magazine has just chosen the vehicle to which they would be rewarding their SportUtility Of The Year award for 2007. And the magazine?s editors have already announced which vehicle it is going to be. To them, the Mercedes Benz GL450 was the top vehicle and the best one to take home such an award.
Out of 22 vehicles that are available in the market, the Mercedes Benz GL450 came out to be the best choice. However, choosing the best one was not an easy task in fact, Angus MacKenzie, the magazine?s editor in chief, did say that the number of vehicles this year was the greatest that they had ever compared. And it also looked like there was not much difference between them. He does even continue by saying, ?The GL may be a surprise winner for many people. The first full size sportutility from Mercedes is not cheap, but it has astonishing technology. It offers a seven speed automatic transmission and a V8 engine with 335 horsepower, and it will be available in a version that runs on the new low sulfur diesel fuel for greater gas mileage. Comfortable, third row seating has become one of the most important measures for sportutilities, and the GL?s is the best.?
Sure, this vehicle may be Motor Trend?s top choice. And the vehicle may still be quite a huge investment that a person can ever spend on. However, if you do own this one, you surely would be much into the features, performance, and power that it can provide. And the Mercedes Benz GL450 auto maker also did make sure that the vehicle will still do well even if you do add in your own personal choice of Superchips programmer or NGK wires to it.
As per the Mercedes Benz GL450?s overall appeal, MacKenzie shares, ?The GL extends the reach of Mercedes Benz in.
