Victor Osimhen scored twice for Nigeria in extra time, with Chidera Ejuke also netting in the additional period, after Mario Lemina's late equaliser kept the contest going beyond 90 minutes. Gabon were let off the hook after four minutes when Akor Adams' effort was smothered by goalkeeper Loyce Mbaba after they failed to clear a long ball from Alex Iwobi, while Osimhen miscued a header from close range soon after.

General Brice Oligui Nguema has just secured a decisive election victory, promising to lead Gabon through democratic reforms after a military-led coup ended 56 years of Bongo rule.
