Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the African Cup of Nations Group A fixture between Congo and Gabon from Estadio de Bata.

But that miss doesn't matter as Congo see out their first Africa Cup of Nations victory since 1974. Cue wild celebrations on the pitch in Bata.

N'Guessi has the chance to wrap the game up for Congo but slips as he runs towards goal and Ovono saves comfortably.

There will be a minimum of four minutes of additional time. Can Gabon find an equaliser or will Congo see this out?

Le Roy makes his final change as Francis Nganga comes on. It looks as though Gabon are going to use their final substitution too, as Lengoualama waits to come on.

Gabon are camped in Congo's half now. Kanga is caught in possession and Bissiki is able to start a counter. But the men in yellow soon have the ball back.

Gabon have a corner and are finally able to bring on Samson Mbingui for Madinda. The substitute had been waiting patiently on the touchline for about five minutes.

Madinda creates space for a shot from 20 yards but Mafoumbi saves easily.

The Gabon pressure is starting to increase, Madinda hits the outside of the post with a drive from just inside the area.

That's better from Gabon. Bulot drives down the left wing before producing a cross that just evades Evouna in the box. Aubameyang keeps the danger alive, but again his centre is too high for his strike partner.

Moutou has another chance to make it two for Congo but his header flies well over the bar.

Chris Malonga is the latest replacement for Congo, coming on for Dore.

Congo's players are beginning to show signs of tiredness, and Le Roy reacts by bringing on Fabrice N'Guessi for Gandze. The substitute is then brought down by Poko, who is booked.

Congo work a three-on-three but Cesaire Gandze is lacklustre and his cross is deflected behind. Moutou whips it in to the near post, but it is cleared and Ovono saves his follow-up shot.

Madinda plays a lovely ball that dissects the Congo defence, but Evouna is flagged offside.

That really should have been 1-1. Mafoumbi was struggling to make up the ground, if Bulot kept his shot on target, he scored.

After another stoppage for an injury to a Congo player, Gabon launch an attack that ultimately ends with Bulot firing wide of goal from 18 yards with Mafoumbi racing across his goal.

After Bulot's intial corner is cleared, Madinda and Aubameyang work space for a cross but Aaron Appindangoye heads wide.

Palun wins a corner for Gabon following a challenge from Moutou. Bulot whips it into the box at the second attempt but Congo clear. Madinda helps to keep the danger alive and Gabon win another corner.

A stop in play in Bata as Dore receives treatment once more.

A Gabon corner is half-cleared to the edge of the area, where Madinda rifles a shot that goes over the bar.
