Andre Pocko Biyogho scored the invaluable winner in the 119th minute to give Gabon a surprise victory.
He headed home following a corner as Gabon, who finished second in Group B behind Egypt, became the first African side to book a ticket to London.

The African Championship winners, runners-up and third-placed team will directly qualify for the Olympics while the fourth-placed side will have to overcome an Asian representative in a playoff to go through.
