The Mozambique national team defeated Gabon 3-2 on the afternoon of Sunday, December 28, in a match for the second round of the CAN group stage. Geny Catamo was one of the standout players, scoring a goal and providing an assist in the game.

The Sporting player delivered the decisive pass for the first goal of the match, in the 37th minute, scored by Faisal Bangal. The 'number 10' for the Lions increased the lead with a penalty in the 42nd minute, before Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang pulled one back just before halftime, at 45+5′.

Diogo Calila, the right-back who plays for Santa Clara, made it 3-1 in the 52nd minute, and Moucketou-Moussounda closed the scoring in the 76th minute. Geny Catamo even managed to put the ball in Loyce Mbaba's net, but the goal was disallowed by VAR.

With this victory, Mozambique now has three points and rises to third place in Group F. Ivory Coast, with Ousmane Diomande, is in first place also with three points, but with one less game, as is Cameroon. Gabon, meanwhile, is in fourth place with zero points.

This season, wearing the Sporting shirt, Geny Catamo – valued at 15 million euros – has already played 20 matches. In the 1,094 minutes he has been on the pitch, the left-footer has scored three goals and assisted his teammates on three other occasions.
