Hosts Gabon edge Angola to top Afcon Group D standings

Aaron Boupendza and Dennis Bouanga’s first-half goals were all Gabon needed to beat Angola 2-1 in Franceville on Sunday night.

This win takes Gabon to the Group D in the qualifiers for the 2021 Total Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon).

Angola scored their consolation five minutes from time through Adriano Duarte Nicolau. This defeat leaves their campaign to qualify for Cameroon in jeopardy, more so also losing their opening game to The Gambia.

Gabon who missed out on the 2019 Cup of Nations are on four points from two matches having drawn 0-0 with DR Congo in the opening round of matches last week away in Kinshasa.
