GABON sailed through to the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations as the surprise Group C winner, leaving the last two quarterfinal places to be decided on the final day of group matches.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored the decisive goal in a tight 1-0 win over Tunisia as already-qualified Gabon finished the first round with three wins. Ghana, Guinea and Mali all will have a shot at the two remaining last eight spots from Group D.

Morocco salvaged some pride with a 1-0 win over Niger with a goal from Younes Belhanda. While in Equatorial Guinea, Zambia was distracted ahead of its quarterfinal against Sudan when midfielder Clifford Mulenga was sent home for breaking a team curfew.
