GAMBIA TO FACE IVORY COAST IN WAFU-CUP SEMIS

The Gambia under-20 team has booked their place in the semi-finals at the ongoing WAFU-Cup staged in Monrovia - Liberia .

Gambia sealed a passage to the semi-finals of the West African Football Union Nations Cup (WAFU Cup) after beating the Republic of Mali 1-0 on Sunday the 29th April, 2018 ,  at the Tolbert Stadium in Monrovia. 

Brikama United Habibou Mendy was the hero for the day in the first half which continued until the end of regular time. Although Mali pushed well into Gambia’s goal area but the Young Scorpions combative approach at defense thwarted all Mali chances.

At one nil, the Gambia stands at second on 5 points while Mali maintain lead position on 6 points.
