After Burkina Faso skipper Bertrand Traore scored early, 10-man Gabon took the match into extra time following a dramatic last-minute equaliser. It made up for a penalty Traore squandered some 11 minutes earlier when he crashed his effort against the crossbar — the ninth failed penalty attempt at the tournament in Cameroon.
Gabonese striker Boupendza had the ball in the net four minutes before halftime but was marginally offside.
