Thankfully for them, Aguibou Camara slotted it past the Gambian keeper in the 70th minute for a deserved triumph.Goal: Aguibou Camara | 🇬🇳 Guinea 1-0 Gambia 🇬🇲pic.twitter.com/exletj1aBm— FootColic ⚽️ (@FootColic) January 19, 2024 This result pushes them to the very brink of the knockout stage with four points compared to Cameroon’s single one, meaning they need just a point in the ultimate Group C fixture against Senegal to secure the spot in the next round.Unlike Guinea, the Indomitable Lions are now knocking on the doors of the abyss, with Rigobert Song’s team needing not only to bulldoze the Gambia in the final group-stage game but also to hope that the Lions of Terranga will beat the National Elephants.AFCON2023: Lions of Teranga roar into the round of sixteen after win over CameroonCameroon’s goal difference is currently 2:4, while Guinea are standing much better with a 2:1 margin.AFCON 2023- GROUP STAGERound 2ThursdayEquatorial Guinea – Guinea Bissau 4-2 (1-1)/Nsue 21, 51, 61, Miranda 46 – Orosco 37, Ze Turbo 90+3/Ivory Coast – Nigeria 0-1 (0-0)/Troost-Ekong 54 pen/Egypt – Ghana 2-2 (0-1)/Marmoush 69, M.
