Guinea got their revenge against Gambia. The Syli Nationale won (1-0) against the Scorpions and took a big step towards qualification for the last 8 of the AFCON 2023. The Gambians, on the other hand, saw their chances of qualification diminish with this defeat.
Guinea put in a fine performance against Gambia at the AFCON 2023. The Syli Nationale won (1-0) thanks to a goal by Aguibou Camara after the hour mark (69th). The Guineans, who dominated the game, created several clear-cut chances and could have added to their tally.
Mohamed Bayo hit the post in the first half (32nd) before hitting the crossbar after the break (78th). He even had a one-on-one opportunity at the end of the game. This time, however, he was denied by the Gambian goalkeeper. A big scramble ensued, but the Scorpions' defense managed to get out of the way.

A powerless Gambia
Beaten 3-0 by Senegal in their opening match, the Gambians failed to get the reaction they needed to get back on track against Guinea. The Scorpions were dominated and created a few chances but failed to convert them. And even when they thought they had equalised through Yankuba Minteh, the goal was disallowed for offside. A tough defeat for Gambia, who are virtually 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 have any hope of qualifying. Guinea are 3rd with 4 points.In the worst-case scenario, the Guineans could finish as best third-placed team
