Ahmed Akaichi looked to have put Tunisia into the last four when he turned in Hamza Mathlouthi's cross.
The hosts, ranked 96 places below their opponents, sent
it to extra time when Javier Balboa netted an injury-time penalty after
Ali Maaloul was harshly ruled to have fouled Ivan Bolado.
And Balboa scored the winner with a fantastic free-kick from 25 yards.
Equatorial Guinea will face Ghana or Guinea in their first Cup of Nations semi-final on Thursday.
The game ended with ugly scenes as both sets of
officials and players clashed in the 120th minute, with security getting
involved, and at the final whistle some Equatorial Guinea fans ran onto
the pitch to celebrate a famous win.
Bottles were thrown at Tunisia players, with one Carthage Eagles player throwing one back.
