Hosts Gabon will be looking for a vastly improved performance when they take on Burkina Faso in their second Group A game on Wednesday.
Giving away a late equaliser to minnows Guinea Bissau in Saturday’s opener at the Stade l’Amitie put Gabon under immediate pressure.
But a draw in the other group game between Burkina Faso and Cameroon means all four teams are level.
Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is again key to the home team’s hope after scoring the tournament’s opening goal but carries a heavy burden of expectation, while Burkina Faso have a much more experienced team and could dent home hopes.
Aubameyang knows he and his team-mates let supporters of the central African team down and has promised a better performance against opponents they beat 2-0 at the same stage two years ago.
