A first-half strike at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo was enough to help begin their campaign in Cameroon on a winning note
Aaron Boupendza scored the only goal that inspired Gabon to a 1-0 triumph over debutants Comoros at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Al Arabi star broke the deadlock at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in the 15th minute following a fine link-up with Louis Ameka in the penalty area.
Boupendza rifled in a rocket past goalkeeper Ahamada Nadhoim from close range.
The Panthers tried to show composure upfront even without their captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who tested positive for coronavirus upon arrival in Cameroon.
