A remarkable moment unfolded at Tangier's Grand Stade as Niger clinched their first-ever win in the TotalEnergies U-23 Africa Cup of Nations as they defeated Gabon 1-0 in their Group B match on Wednesday.
Following a goalless draw against Egypt, Niger triumphed with the victory over Gabon, who found themselves at the bottom of Group B.
Right from the kickoff, Gabon, positioned at the group's basement, displayed determination and eagerly embraced physical challenges. In contrast, Niger showcased their threat in the 8th minute when Kairou Amoustapha unleashed a powerful strike, brilliantly parried by Gabonese goalkeeper Gesril Andôme.
Towards the end of the first half, Essogo won an enticing free kick for his team. However, Jérémie Obounet Moussango's attempt was thwarted by his own teammates inside the Nigerien penalty area.
