Gabon's U20 side have booked their spot in the UNIFFAC U20 semi-finals following a draw held at the Olembe stadium. The Panthères had finished the group stage with a record identical to the Democratic Republic of Congo, prompting officials to use the draw to decide which team would take second place in Group B and advance to the final four.
The outcome handed Gabon a meeting with Cameroon, who topped Group A. The semi-final is scheduled for 22 October at the Olembe stadium.
The draw determined which of the two sides would take the qualifying position, after Gabon and DR Congo could not be separated on their group-stage performance. The fixture sets up a difficult assignment for the young Panthères against the Group A winners.
