Gabon scored a controversial late goal against Ghana to draw their Africa Cup of Nations Group C match 1-1.<\/p>\n

The result puts Gabon on the verge of the last 16 but leaves the Black Stars facing a nervous final round of games.<\/p>\n

Andre Ayew put Ghana in front in the 18th minute but his strike was cancelled out by Gabon sub Jim Allevinah\u2019s 88th-minute equaliser.<\/p>\n

Ghana were angry that Gabon failed to return the ball after it had been put out for a Black Stars injury.<\/p>\n

Daniel-Kofi Kyere had gone down following a challenge inside the Gabon half but, from the resulting throw-in, Guelor Kanga played the ball to Allevinah, who struck a low left-footed shot across Jojo Wollacott and into the bottom right-hand corner.<\/p>\n

Ayew protested to referee Lahlou Benbraham about the goal to no avail and scuffles broke out when Gabon celebrated at full-time.<\/p>\n

Ghana substitute Benjamin Tetteh was shown a red card after the final whistle for his part in the on-pitch melee.<\/p>\n
