Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang surprisingly put Gabon ahead in the 34th minute.

A deflected pass found him on the edge of the area and he raced clear on goal to slot past the keeper with aplomb.

Roguy Meye further stunned the home crowd just before the break when he cut ahead of the keeper to head home from close range.

Mounir al-Hamdaoui scored a consolation for Morocco five minutes from time.

Earlier on Saturday, Togo also sprung a surprise by beating Cameroon 1-0, thanks to Emmanuel Adebayor's 11th-minute goal.
