Mozambique defeated Gabon 3-2 in Agadir, securing their first AFCON finals win since their debut in 1986, ending a 40-year wait. This was Mozambique's 17th appearance at the tournament. The goals for Mozambique were scored by Faisal Bangal, Geny Catamo, and Diogo Calila, while Gabon's goals came from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alex Moucketou-Moussounda. Mozambique were led by 42-year-old winger Elias Pelembe. After two Group F matches, Mozambique have 3 points, as do Ivory Coast and Cameroon, while Gabon have none. If the match between Ivory Coast and Cameroon ends in a draw, Gabon will be eliminated. Gabon face defending champions Ivory Coast on Wednesday, and their hopes of reaching the last 16 depend on that match.
