Gabon coach Gernor Rohr has rued his team's failure to reach the semi final of the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations after losing 5-4 to Mali on penalties in front of their teeming fans in Libreville on Sunday. Fans'favourite Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang failed to score from spot with Seydou Keita firing the Malians into the last four after converting the decisive kick.

'When I saw Diabate coming on, I warned my players because he is a dangerous player. He was one my players at Ajaccio. We were unlucky. My team is a young team and most of them don't have the character for such big games. We have many regrets.' The Panthers joined fellows Equatorial Guinea out of the competition after the Ivorians humbled the latter 3-0 in Malabo 24-hours earlier.
