Guinea-Bissau continued their fairy-tale run by holding Gabon to a 1-1 draw in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations opener at the Stade de l'Amitié in Libreville on Saturday.
The African minnows, playing in their first Afcon, scored a 91st minute equaliser through Juary Soares to claim a point in the Group A clash.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang looked to have secured all three points for the Panthers, but having switched off in the final 10 minutes of the clash the hosts were duly punished.

Zezinho then fired the visitors first shot in anger over the crossbar in the 31st minute before Mario Lemina saw his he…

Ms Aiken said the family …

According to Daily News, the judge also denied Depp's request for $100,000 in sanctions against Heard.
"I just see this as a lot of bickering back and forth," Judge Carl Moor said as lawyers on both sides accused the other of delay tactics.
