A 4-2 penalty shoot-out win sent Libya into their first ever CAF African Nations Championship semi-final after 120 minutes of action against Gabon at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Sunday finished 1-1.

The first 45 minutes was a rather timid affair in attack as both teams kept it tight at the back. Consequently, chances on goal were few and far between. Abdelsalam Omar scored for Libya after 50 minutes but Daniel Cousin equalised for Gabon.
