Gabon opened their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a win over 2013 runners-up Burkina Faso to top Group A.
Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring with a cool finish from inside the penalty area before the break.
Burkina Faso were dangerous throughout with Vitesse’s Chelsea loanee Bertrand Traore being denied by goalkeeper Didier Ovono in both halves.
But Malick Evouna sealed the win with a 72nd-minute header.
