UFOA U17: The Gambia keep their winning streak going against Mauritania

Gambia are unstoppable. After their convincing 4–1 victory over Sierra Leone in their opening match, the young Scorpions followed that up on Thursday with another win: a 3–1 victory over Mauritania in their second group match of the UFOA A tournament, a qualifier for the U17 Africa Cup of Nations.

Alieu Saine proves decisive once again

Once again, it was Alieu Saine who led the way. The Gambian striker scored his third goal of the competition and got his team off to a flying start. From the bench, the substitutes made the difference. Omar Badjie came off the bench to double the lead before Muhammed Jatta sealed the victory with another goal in the tournament.
