VIDEO | AFCON 2023 Highlights: Guinea vs Gambia
Guinea was going head-to-head with Gambia, looking to practically lock in their spot in the round of 16. On the flip side, Gambia had to score some points, or they'd risk being left with zero and forced to beat Cameroon in the final group stage match of AFCON 2023.
Guinea dominated the game, playing it safe with their attacks, not going all out but not exactly being patient either. The first half ended with a goose egg on the scoreboard, with just two shots on target, both from Guinea.
In the second half, Guinea kicked things up a notch, hitting the posts twice in the first 15 minutes. It wasn't until the 69th minute that they broke the deadlock, with Morgan delivering a slick assist for Cámara to open the scoring. That proved enough for Guinea to secure the win.
With this result, Guinea sits in second place behind Senegal with four points, pretty much sealing the deal for a spot in the round of 16. Meanwhile, Gambia will have to pull off a win in the last match to have a shot at making it through as one of the tournament's best third-placed teams.
