Gabon grab late equalise with Ghana
Gabon grab late equalise with Ghana
Gabon scored a controversial late goal against Ghana to draw their Africa
Cup of Nations Group C match 1-1.
The result puts Gabon, missing captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang with
‘heart lesions’, on the verge of the last 16.
Andre Ayew had put Ghana in front in the 18th minute, but his strike was
cancelled out by Jim Allevinah’s 88th-minute equaliser.
Ghana, now facing a nervous final game, were angry Gabon failed to return
the ball after an injury to their player.
The Panthers need a point to reach the last 16 when they face Morocco in
their final group match on Tuesday while Ghana will take on winless
Comoros, needing victory to remain in with a chance of progressing.
