FULL-TIME: Burkina Faso 0-2 Gabon.
90+3'
Sanou makes a one-handed save to deny Bulot a goal to go with his assist at the death.
90+2'
Three minutes added on. We're now into the second.
90+1'
Pitroipa wriggles past two before having a shot closed down. They're fighting all the way to the end but are set to have to wait for their first goal of the finals.
90'
Bertrand Traore, BF's best player, embarks on a great solo run before sidefooting just wide of goal from an angle.
88'
Gabon defending well in these latter stages.
85'
Five minutes to go plus about maybe four in added time. If BF can find one goal very soon, they still have a sniff of a draw here.
80'
Pitroipa does well to win a corner off Ecuele.
78'
Big wait for this one. The anticipation builds. BF need to score to make for an interesting finale. Traore... into the hands of Ovono, who drops and then recovers!
76'
Obiang booked for a lunge on Traore and another dangerous free-kick is coming up for Burkina.
74'
Evouna almost clean through two minutes later, but the flag goes up. He has caused BF all sorts of problems in this second half.
72'

GOAL! Gabon 2-0 up! Great team play as Gabon give BF a taste of their own patient build-up play before Bulot crosses excellently for Evouna to head home from close range.
70'
This has been a great 15 minutes of football. BF almost get through with a 1-2 but their shorter-passing method is not prevailing against Gabon's swift, direct style.
68'
Almost a second for Aubameyang! Freed out on the left and he cuts inside and drives it just past the far post!
67'
Great run to dodge the offside trap by Evouna, but his shot is not good from a tough position. Holding up play was an option there.
65'

End-to-end! Traore also wasteful from point-blank at the other end!
64'
Bulot gets in behind the defence but the ball gets stuck between his feet and he fires it right at the keeper. That should have been 2-0.
62'
A better direct free-kick from Alain this time, just inches over the bar from outside the 'D'.
60'
After 10 solid minutes of BF pressure, Gabon break on the left through Aubameyang but keeper Sanou does his best 'sweeper keeper' Neuer impresison and deals with the ball forward.
59'
Now Alain goes greedy, shooting from an angled 30-yard free-kick. Low and wide. Should have tried to set something up.
