Gambia's fairytale first appearance at the African Cup of Nations continues as they booked their place in the quarter-finals of the continental showcase by beating Guinea, Sports Brief earlier reported.

Gambia beat Guinea 1-0 thanks to Musa Barrow's goal in the 71st minute. The Bologna forward showed great strength, bullying his way through the defence to score. Gambia also showed great resolve as they played the last five minutes with 10 men and an injured keeper in Baboucarr Gaye .

Yusupha Njie was sent off only 15 minutes after he came on as a substitute after he received two yellow cards. The player had a right to feel hard done as both yellow cards he received were somewhat harsh decisions.
