Gabon striker, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang believes insufficient time together led to the hosts' group-stage elimination from the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

According to Ceoafrica, the Panthers needed to beat Cameroon on Sunday but could only draw 0-0.

Aubameyang said "It is really annoying because we had chances. Sadly there are days when it doesn't go in, like my first chance from two metres out.

"We are all really disappointed. We didn't really have the time to prepare for the tournament".

Aubameyang reacted angrily after final whistle, storming off, kicking a ball off the pitch and not shaking hands with anyone.

Coach Jose Antonio Camacho told him to calm down but Aubameyang waved him away as he walked down the tunnel.
