World Cup 2026 (Q): Gabon dominates Kenya to top Group F

Gabon took a serious step towards qualification for the 2026 World Cup by securing a 2-1 victory over Kenya this Sunday, March 23, during the 6th round of the qualifiers.

Gabon couldn't have dreamed of a better outcome after six rounds of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Panthers are now at the top of Group F following their 2-1 away win against Kenya. Absent against Seychelles, it was Pierre Emerick Aubameyang who opened the scoring for his team in the 16th minute. The same player doubled the lead a few minutes after the break with a penalty (52').

Ten minutes later, Michael Olunga pulled one back for Kenya. The score remained unchanged until the end of the match. A great result for Gabon, putting pressure on Ivory Coast, who are now second in the standings with 13 points. The Panthers, on the other hand, have 15 points. It should be noted that the Elephants will face the Scorpions of Gambia this Monday, March 24, 2025 (5th with 4 points).
