Gambia are holding strong against Iran in Antalya. At the break, the Scorpions are up 1-0.

A perfect start for the Scorpions—discipline, resilience, and clinical finishing. The connection between the Colleys made the difference: Ebrima Colley delivered a brilliant ball, and Omar Colley from Al-Draiyah club converted it into a goal in the 42nd minute. 1-0.

A first half under full Gambia control. It’s a dream start to this warm-up for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, where the Scorpions will face Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Somalia in Group C. But caution is still needed—there are 45 minutes left to play.

The Scorpions need to confirm their dominance in the second half.
