Gabon came third with 3 points, while Guinea Bissau ended their debut tournament with 1 point.
In the match between Burkina Faso and Guinea Bissau, an own goal by Guinea Bissau defender Rudinilson Silva in the 11th minute gave Burkina Faso the lead, while Bertrand Traore scored the second in the 57th minutes.
