Good evening and welcome to Eurosport’s LIVE text commentary of a crunch Africa Cup of Nations game between Gabon and Cameroon in the final game of Group A. Having failed to win their previous two games, the hosts find themselves in a bit of a mess and will likely need a victory here to avoid a calamitous exit out of the tournament. An extraordinary night to follow!

FULL-TIME! Host nation Gabon are out and there's tears at the final whistles. It's joy for Cameroon who progress to the knock-out stages. The talking point? Aubameyang who missed from yards out in the first-half.
CHANCES! Gabon spurn not one but two golden opportunities! Bouanga is denied by the post and then Ondo produces a remarkable save to deny Ndong from the rebound!
Bouanga twists and turns in the penalty area and is then brought down by Collins Fai... however the referee Daniel Bennett tells the forward to get to his feet.
FOUR minutes of added on time to be played.
It's just gone full-time in the other Group A game between Burkina Faso and Guinea-Bissau.
Cameroon will progress as the second-placed team in Group A.
A reminder that hosts Gabon will exit the competition at the group stages if they're unable to find an opening goal in the last couple of minutes.
Aboubakar gifts Gabon back possession (not that they'll do anything with it...)
Kevyn loses the ball in a wide area and it's more frustration for Gabon.
Cameroon have dropped deeper but Gabon haven't looked like scoring at all. Difficult to see the hosts finding an opener at this stage.
Awful game, to be honest. Will there be some late drama though?
DOUBLE CAMEROON SUB: Vincent Aboubakar and Karl Toko Ekambi replace Tambe and Bassogog.

Ndong takes down Moukandjo with a rash tackle from behind. If you played for Sunderland you'd be frustrated as well...
Cameroon are intent on wasting as much time as possible as we approach the 80 minute mark.
Some spectators are leaving the ground. Gabon need to get their act together, and fast...
The home crowd aren't happy with the Gabon manager as he replaces Evouna with Samson Mbingui.
CAMEROON SUB: Jacques Zoua replaces Salli.

Collins Fai heads wide for Cameroon from Bassogog's cross.
GABON SUB: Serge Kevyn replaces Palun.
Ndong's cross into the penalty area is poor and Cameroon can easily clear.
