Africa Cup of Nations: Last-gasp Gabon sends Morocco home

Morocco, with an injury time penalty, believed they had done enough to keep their Cup hopes alive, but that wasn't counting on Bruno Mbanangoyes's curling freekick in the final second of the eighth minute of stoppage time of a remarkable encounter.

Gabon had been on the brink of winning in normal time after second half goals from Daniel Cousin and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had put them in command after Houssine Kharja's opener.

Kharja for the second time appeared to have spoiled Gabon's night when he stepped up to coolly convert the 91st minute spotkick awarded for Charly Moussono's handball.

Then along came Mbanangoye to seal all three points which not only put Gabon into the last eight but Tunisia too, who earlier defeated Niger 2-1.
