AFCON LAST 16: BURKINA FASO V GABON - LIVE

Gabon win a corner on the left. It's taken quickly and the ball comes to Kanga, who wins another.

Tapsoba tries to slide the ball down the left channel, but it runs out of play.

We're off!

Two minutes now until kick-off.

Of course, Gabon are now without Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, laid low by Covid and back with Arsenal.
