Africa Cup of Nations hosts Gabon crashed out of the tournament after they drew goalless with Cameroon in their final Group A game yesterday at Stade de Franceville in Franceville.
It was Gabon’s third draw of the competition after stalemates with Guinea Bissau and Burkina Faso.
Needing a win to advance to the next round of the competition, Gabon failed to take their chances in the opening stages of the encounter against the Indomitable Lions who needed a point to advance to the quarter-finals.
In the other Group A fixture, Burkina Faso secured a place in the quarter-finals of the competition defeating Guinea-Bissau 2-0 at the Stade de l’Amitié in Libreville, to seal top spot in Group A.
An own goal from Rudinilson Silva and a strike from Bertrand Traore in each half sealed the Stallions’ first win of the tournament.
