Mozambique kept their Africa Cup of Nations campaign alive on Sunday after edging Gabon 3–2 in a dramatic Group F encounter at the Stade Adrar in Agadir. The hard-fought victory marked Mozambique’s first-ever win at the tournament and dealt a decisive blow to Gabon’s hopes of reaching the knockout stage.
Okay News reports that the Mambas took control of the match with first-half goals from Faizal Bangal and Geny Catamo, before Diogo Calila added a third shortly after the break. Gabon responded through captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and later Alex Moucketou-Moussounda, but their late surge fell short despite sustained pressure in stoppage time.
The result leaves Mozambique with renewed qualification hopes heading into the final group match, while Gabon’s second straight defeat confirms their exit from the competition.
The outcome further tightens the battle for progression in Group F as the AFCON tournament intensifies.
