Gabon disgusts Comoros / CAN 2021 / Gr. C / Comoros-Gabon (0-1) / SOFOOT.com – SO FOOT

Comoros 0-1 Gabon

Goal: Boupendza (16^e) for the Panthers

Gabon’s rebound.

Underwater off the land, especially for stories of bonuses and Covid, the Panthers of Gabon extinguished the flame of the Comoros in Yaoundé (1-0), and perfectly launch their CAN 2021 in Group C, at equality with Morocco.

Masters of possession, the Comorians draw the first, from a good distance, to honor their inaugural match in the competition. But they also leave spaces behind their backs. At the quarter of an hour of play, Aaron Boupendza intervenes there, perfectly shifted by Louis Ameka, and concludes left foot in an impossible angle – but left wide open by Ali Ahamada above his head (0-1, 16^e). Despite the completely strawberry outings of its goalkeeper Jean-Noël Amonome, Gabon stays the course and strikes most of the time against.

Deprived of their charming asset Faïz Selemani (Covid), the Coelacanths do not manage to unbalance the very solid central axis of the Panthers, led by Bruno Ecuele Manga, and it is Gabon which passes closer to the station wagon. First, the Dijon defender sees the opposing frame shirk his helmet (60^e), then Bouanga hurtles down half of the field before finding Ali Ahamada’s gloves (71^e). Despite a last opportunity for the incoming Moussa Djoumoi (73^e), well helped by the Gabonese goalkeeper, the scoreboard will not move, thus concluding a 100% 1-0 day for this second dose of the African Cup of Nations.

It would now and already be a small miracle to see the surprising Veri piya in knockout phase.
