Aguibou Camara’s second-half goal secured a crucial 1-0 victory for Guinea over Gambia in Group C of the Africa Cup of Nations.

With both teams seeking their first win in the tournament, the goal came in the 69th minute when Camara slid home from Morgan Guilavogui’s cross.

The win propelled Guinea to four points in the group standings, setting the stage for a decisive final group game against current leaders Senegal.

Gambia’s coach, Tom Saintfiet, made five changes from their opening loss to Senegal, but chances were limited in the first half. Guinea came close to taking the lead in the 33rd minute, with Mohamed Bayo’s strike hitting the post.

The breakthrough came in the second half when Guilavogui set up Camara to poke home, beating Gambia defender James Gomez. Despite Bayo hitting the crossbar shortly after, Guinea held on for the 1-0 win.

The victory holds particular significance for Guinea, as Gambia had eliminated them in the last-16 stage of the 2021 edition.
