Morocco drew 2:2 with Gabon in Yaounde in one of the best games of the Africa Cup of Nations so far as both sides progressed from Group C.

The Atlas Lions fell behind in the first half as Gabon's Jim Allevinah slid past the onrushing keeper.

Morocco's equaliser from the penalty spot by Sofiane Boufal after 74 minutes sparked a thrilling finale.

First, Gabon forced Nayef Aguerd into scoring an own goal before Achraf Hakimi curled home a free-kick.

Morocco will stay in the Cameroonian capital for their next game, against the best third-placed side from either Group A, B or F, on 25 January.

Gabon, meanwhile, will face Burkina Faso in Limbe as both sides kick off the Round of 16 on Sunday 23 January.
