Ghana first big nation out I think.
What a mess at the end of this game, 5 minutes of fighting, red cards being shown.
Gabon playing in Brazil colours, 2 goals of high quality though....Ayew with the first & Allevinah lovely stepovers goes on the outside and drills a effort into the bottom corner.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been diagnosed with heart lesions after recovering from Covid-19 at the Africa Cup of Nations. The Arsenal forward was ruled out of Gabon’s 1-1 draw against Ghana on Friday.
The “cardiac lesions” were found in a check by Confederation of African Football (CAF) medical officials, the Gabonese FA said in a statement. Officials examined Aubameyang after he returned following a positive Covid test. Two of his Gabon teammates, forward Axel Meyé and midfielder Mario Lemina, who were both also found to have the same issue.

Aubameyang tested positive at an airport on arrival in Cameroon last week and was put into isolation. The 32-year-old missed Gabon’s first game of the tournament, a 1-0 win over Comoros. He tested negative for the virus and left isolation two days before the Ghana game and had been expected to return to the team.
The Athletic (£) reports that Arsenal’s doctors are thought to have spoken to Gabon’s medical team about the diagnosis, and have been reassured the player is feeling well and the situation is not serious.

I hope that gains him some interest so we can fuck him off.
I thought we had a rule of giving every a chance to be captain except Mo?
So Kieta will fly back?
Keita is playing for Guinea.
He is going to play this whole month and boss AFCON like a Steven Gerrard clone. First game back, scratch his leg against Anfield grass and remain injured for the rest of the season.
I might have a wank.
This didn't age well.
But the tournament deserves respect.
Guinea are actually playing some lovely pass-and-move football in the 2nd half. Zimbabwe are trying to hang on. Very watchable game.
The ref is female - the players seem to respect her; she looks like a mom watching some kids kick it around in the park.
