The Gambia put their hopes back on track with a hard-earned 1-0 win over Mali in a match played in Casablanca, Morocco. The Scorpions made amends for their 2-0 loss to the Malians last weekend, as they ensured they remained in contention with two matches left.
It was also Mali’s first loss in the qualifiers.
Omar Colley scored the winning goal for the Gambians in the 79th minute, a lead they managed to hold on to till the final whistle.
The win sees Gambia move to six points in Group G, only separated from second-placed Congo by goal difference. Mali remains top of the group with nine points.
