00:00Here we go with Gabon in possession from the start, Bruno Iqueli, Manga, a record final round of games, Gabon on the attack, nice work with a chance to try and get a shot in, but it's been set up, there's the shot, it's a wonderful save parried away there by Ernest Silouani.
00:27Capable of just causing issues on that right hand side, he takes on players as well as we take a look at that shot that came in, beautifully struck, wasn't it, and was heading towards the goal.
00:37Yep, he lined it up quite nicely, good.
00:40Latch on to this, Faisal's there, Ranildo, Ranildo's great in the air, it goes over the top and there's the chance, and a glaring opportunity there.
00:48Ever dangerous Ranildo, just peels away from his marker, just can't get himself high enough to steer that towards goal.
00:56But the Sunderland man looking dangerous.
01:00Nicely picked up by Grima.
01:04Using Mexia, lovely little shirt, now he puts it on his left foot, that's a rasping drive from distance.
01:10Say that that came from downtown.
01:13Yep, big centre-back does really well just to shrug off the marker.
01:17Pulled through ball from Langer, collected by Babica.
01:25And John, ooh, another solid challenge in the middle, this time it's Amade.
01:31Boom, foot up, look at this foot that goes in, there you go, he's, that right foot goes right across the, the.
01:38It's better for Mozambique, like the way that they pass the ball around, they've just got to, oh, that's a giveaway, that's a giveaway.
01:44This is dangerous now, very dangerous, onto his left foot, the shot comes in, smothered quite comfortably there.
01:51For Mozambique, and a couple of big players coming up, Ranildo, of course, is great in the air, we know that he's got the ability to latch onto the high ball.
02:05It's coming over, that's the goal, it's a goal that's been scored here by Mozambique, celebrations whipped in, and it is, of course, Faisal, who has offered Mozambique, the members, a strike, and a strike that means the world for Chiquinho Conde, he's man.
02:24Yep, very well worked corner, that is, unmarked, Bangala, free header, just at the center of the box, beautiful delivery from Kini as well, to be honest, Mozambique certainly deserve this one, they've looked really good, very well organized defensively.
02:47Langa, lost the ball up towards Bembele, he tries to get past his man, oh, he's down, he's been pulled down, it's a court penalty, oh, it's a penalty, and look at that, Ikwell and Manga, points straight to the penalty spot, but look at that, he haphazardly tries to deal with it, it's the shirt pull at the end, it's so blatant,
03:14the elasticated shirts, obviously, give the referees and the officials an eyeful, and that is a massive error there from Ikwell and Manga, but the experience of the 42-year-old Elias Pelembe,
03:32obviously on show on that occasion.
03:34Yep, Pelembe does really well to win the ground duel.
03:38Kenny up against Zimbabwe.
03:44Kenny with the left foot, Kenny, grandiose!
03:52A sublime strike, taking the goalkeeper, Manga the wrong way.
03:56And how about this, Mozambique, with a two-nil lead, minutes away from the halftime whistle.
04:04Taking up this penalty,
04:08just forces the goalkeeper the wrong way, calm, composed.
04:12A scenario that many
04:23may have not thought
04:25it would be the case.
04:27That overlap just needed to hold it for an extra split second,
04:31and that pass,
04:33we've been racing onto it, and he would have struck it first time,
04:35a little bit too close to the centre-back.
04:37Yep, a little bit close to the centre-back.
04:39This is Mozambique, just forcing those errors,
04:42forcing Gabon into those errors, the tackles are coming in.
04:46Of course, that one is not allowed from Puk.
04:48Grima, nice touch for Zell, for Zell.
04:52Cheeky little flick.
04:53This has been set up for Vitti.
04:55Vitti, on the left-hand side, puts it on his right foot!
04:58Oh!
04:58It comes off the woodwork!
04:59The follow-up!
05:00Oh, my word, Grima should have blasted that in!
05:03By the woodwork, look at that, curling around.
05:07That is a masterclass in right-footed shooting.
05:11Mm.
05:11Wow.
05:13It just hasn't been clicking for Gabon.
05:15The combinations and the triangles we are so used to seeing on the park,
05:19just haven't really been creative in that midfield, in the final third.
05:23Long range, Sean, it's a drive!
05:24Beautiful!
05:25That's the follow-up!
05:26They got the goal!
05:27Finally!
05:28You can see what it means to Gabon.
05:31They get themselves a goal.
05:33Aubameyang is the man.
05:34Pants is at the right time.
05:37Thunderous shot there.
05:39Great save coming from Silouani,
05:42but you won't stop the former gunner in that position.
05:45And Dom's effort, absolutely thunderous.
05:50He does so well, Hernan Silouani.
05:53So much power in that shot.
05:56By the time he gets back up, he's finished it.
06:00First goal for Pierre-Emerick over the young
06:04at this Africa Cup of Nations for Gabon.
06:08Well.
06:12Ladies and gentlemen, what a first half.
06:16We're going to be back with those highlights.
06:19Stay tuned here at Peace Sports.
06:22We'll be back.
06:22Keeping for the rest of the games.
06:26Well, Nick Killa of Hafia FC, based in Guinea.
06:31Conakry, former Omphia, playing his seventh match.
06:34And there it is.
06:35Aubameyang getting a late goal.
06:37Good slick football.
06:44He scooped the ball over to himself.
06:46That was a bit of deft class there.
06:49Left-hand side.
06:50Ball coming across.
06:51It's the head down.
06:52It's the goal number three.
06:53Absolutely brilliant from Mozambique.
06:56Well, how about that?
06:58The right back storms up to the right side and delivers the header that's offered the Mambas a third strike.
07:07Yeah, this is definitely a sucker punch for Gabon.
07:11Mozambique once again on that transition.
07:14Breaking into the final third.
07:17Making those box entries.
07:19But look at that late run from Kaila.
07:22Unmarked at the back post.
07:23Tech Book's stuff.
07:25You have to head to the ball where it comes back from.
07:27Completely beats the defense of Gabon.
07:32Unmarked.
07:32Coming from the blind side.
07:36All credit to Witte and that sensational cross.
07:40Because he dealt with his man.
07:41A little bit of acceleration there.
07:43Just to loft the ball with that sweet left foot of his.
07:46Of course, in the next match that's taking place in this group is at Cote d'Ivoire.
07:50Defending champions against five-time champions Cameroon in Marrakesh.
07:54A little bit later on.
07:55Here's the chance.
07:55That's a great ball!
07:57Oh, how did you miss that?
07:59Come on!
08:00That was a freebie.
08:03Look at this top quality ball that was put into his path there by Anjiong.
08:08You have to head that home.
08:11He's done it so many times before.
08:13Unmarked.
08:15And Mbappé's going.
08:17Sorry, Silouane's going.
08:20I'm so glad that didn't come anywhere near Michael.
08:22Welcome to the full-time situation with Lillie Sang-Batutti.
08:31It's Sang-Batutti.
08:32Oh, it's a great chance.
08:33Lillie follow up.
08:33That's a goal.
08:34And they've managed to get that.
08:36Second goal.
08:37Oh, but Mbappé again takes the ball out of the net.
08:41Oh, frantic stuff.
08:42And Gavon are back.
08:46Came so close.
08:48And there he is.
08:50After the heroics, he can't do anything about that.
08:54Tidying up the loose ball.
08:55It came from the corner.
08:56There was a little bit of a mess.
09:00A beautiful rifle shot there that was stopped by Silouane.
09:04He just couldn't keep it, stop it, and clear the danger.
09:08I mean, he did everything.
09:10The first save, he does really well to get down.
09:13Mozambique just caught napping in terms of recovering that second ball and clearing their lines.
09:18Well, it's three against four.
09:24He's found a little bit of space down the right-hand side.
09:26He's got an option.
09:27He gets the ball down here.
09:28There's a chance.
09:30It's squared back.
09:31Guinea gets a shot.
09:33They get a goal.
09:34Goal number four.
09:38Well, the flag's gone up for offside.
09:41They were scored by Cameroon against Gabon.
09:43No, it's not going to happen this time.
09:45I think we can definitely say, yeah, it's...
09:47Miles offside.
09:49Crikey, he's not even part of the...
09:51It was made for Mozambique in this fabulous tournament.
09:59Cup of Nations history.
10:02Unless...
10:03Well, it's Mario Lamina's.
10:05Can they get an equalizer?
10:08Aubameyang waits for it.
10:10Mina picks it up.
10:13Poco back to Mario Lamina.
10:16Can go with a shot.
10:17Kanga.
10:20Spoke about those long-range shots coming in from Gabon.
