Result: Gabon 4-0 Madagascar (02/09/06)

Midfielder Shiva Nzigou struck twice as Gabon got their campaign off to a cracking start in Libreville.

Nzigou holds the record as the youngest player ever to play at the Nations Cup finals - 16 years old - at Ghana 2000.

Striker Henri Antchouet opened the scoring five minutes before half-time and Daniel Cousin, playing only his second game after a six-year absence, was the other scorer.
