Mozambique made history on Sunday, securing their first-ever victory at the Africa Cup of Nations finals after 17 attempts.
In a pulsating five-goal thriller in Agadir, the Mambas stunned Gabon 3-2 to reignite their hopes of reaching the Round of 16.
The Reaction:
Man of the Match Geny Catamo, who provided an assist and scored a penalty, was visibly moved after the whistle. “I am very proud to represent Mozambique and to have made my contribution to this first-ever victory,” he told CAF media. “We are proud of this win. I ask our people to continue supporting us; we want to keep bringing wins to our country.”
For Gabon, the mood was somber. Despite a goal from the returning Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Panthers sit at the bottom of Group F with zero points.
