"Mozambique ended a 40-year wait for victory at the Africa Cup of Nations as they beat Gabon 3-2 in Agadir. Goals from Faisal Bangal, Geny Catamo and Diogo Calila earned the southern African side a deserved victory in which they were led by 42-year-old winger Elias Pelembe. It is their first win at the continental finals since their debut in 1986 in what was their 17th game."
"The result means Gabon are facing an early exit from the tournament having lost their opening two games in Group F. Mozambique have three points from two matches, the same number as Ivory Coast and Cameroon, who meet later on Sunday. If that match ends in a draw, Gabon will be eliminated. Gabon stayed in the contest thanks to goals from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Moucketou-Moussounda,"
