Aubameyang scores as Gabon draw against Burkina Faso

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his second goal of the Africa Cup of Nations to earn hosts Gabon a point from their match with Burkina Faso.

The Borussia Dortmund striker scored a 38th-minute penalty to secure his side’s second 1-1 draw in Group A.

Burkina Faso took the lead when Prejuce Nakoulma latched on to a long ball and held off two players to score.

Herve Koffi tipped Denis Bouanga’s drive onto the bar early on and denied him again with his legs on 81 minutes.

Those saves made up for the Burkina Faso goalkeeper’s error when he brought down Aubameyang for the penalty.
