<p>Notably, as well, Ghana has gone out of AFCON at the group stages for the first time since 2006.</p>

<p>Four-time champions Ghana were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations after crashing 3-2 to minnows Comoros in Group C on Tuesday in Garoua.</p>



<p>The Black Stars had captain Andre Ayew sent off after 25 minutes and, after wiping out a two-goal deficit, lost when Comoros’ Ahmed Mogni scored his second goal five minutes from time.</p>



<p>Morocco and Gabon drew 2-2 in Yaounde in the same group to retain first and second places respectively and qualify for the Round of 16, which kicks off on Sunday.</p>



<p>Comoros, representing a tiny island nation off the southeast coast of Africa, finished third and must wait until Thursday to know if they are among the best four third-placed teams, who get the last 16 spots.</p>



<p>A disastrous night for Ghana started after just four minutes when Serbia-based El Fardou Ben Mohamed fired the first-time qualifiers in front.</p>



<p>Mogni, who plays for French third-tier club Annecy, added a second just past the hour only for 10-man Ghana to hit back through goals from Richmond Boakye and Alexander Djiku.</p>



<p>Mogni struck again when he pushed a low cross from Ben Djaloud past goalkeeper Joseph Wollacott to give the islanders a stunning triumph.</p>



<p>In Yaounde, Gabon led twice through Jim Allevinah and a Nayef Aguerd own-goal while Sofiane Boufal and Achraf Hakimi netted for Morocco.</p>
