CAN 2023: a vengeful Guinea takes over Gambia
Guinea took its revenge against Gambia. Syli Nationale won (1-0) against the Scorpions and marks a big step towards qualification for the round of 16 of CAN 2023. The Gambians see their chances of qualification diminish with this defeat.
Mohamed Bayo hit the post in the first half (32nd) before hitting the crossbar after the break (78th). He even offered a face to face meeting at the end of the meeting. But this time, he is defeated by the Gambian goalkeeper. A big mess ensued but the Scorpions defense managed to free themselves.
A powerless Gambia
Beaten in the first match by Senegal (3-0), the Gambians did not have the reaction they needed to revive against Guinea. The Scorpions were dominated. They created a few chances without being able to make them come true. And even when they thought they had equalized by Yankuba Minteh , the goal was canceled for offside. A tough defeat for Gambia which was almost eliminated.
The Scorpions are last with zero points and will have to beat Cameroon on the 3rd and final day of the group stages to hope to qualify. Guinea is 3rd with 4 points. In the worst case, the Guineans could finish third best.
