By AFPMore by this AuthorLIBREVILLEPierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted for the second time in as many games but Africa Cup of Nations hosts Gabon were again held to a 1-1 draw by Burkina Faso in Libreville on Wednesday. Prejuce Nakoulma silenced the Stade de l'Amitie as he gave Burkina Faso an early lead but Aubameyang soon levelled from the penalty spot after he had been fouled inside the area. Obiang then went off hurt for Gabon but Jose Antonio Camacho's side were back on level terms seven minutes before the interval. Aubameyang coolly converted the penalty for his second goal of the tournament after his effort against Guinea-Bissau at the weekend. The match was drifting towards the draw in the second half before Gabon rallied towards the end.
