Niger welcome Gabon to Niamey with revenge on their minds. The Mena had lost to Gabon at the 2012 African Cup of Nations by a score of 2-0. The Mena looked focused and came out with multiple scoring chances, but their finishing was wasteful, leaving the match on edge at the half, 0-0.
In the second half, both offenses continued to do nothing, with Niger's defense in particular stifling every opportunity Gabon had. With the match ending in a 0-0 draw, Group E failed to see a single goal scored on its first matchday. Hopefully, the level of attacking picks up during next week's fixtures.
Gabon 1 pts 0
Congo 1 pts 0
Niger 1 pts 0
Burkina Faso 1 pts 0
