The Gambia Reaches First Nations Cup
The Gambia qualified for their first ever Africa Cup of Nations tournament, when beating Angola 1-0 at home, joining Comoros, Gabon, Ghana, Egypt, Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea in qualifying on Thursday.
Assan Ceesay scored the all-important match-winner after an hour, enabling The Gambia to clinch one of the two places from Group D.
The other slot was secured by Gabon who beat DR Congo 3-0 to ensure that they returned to the finals after missing out on the 2019 edition.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Denis Bouanga and Aaron Boupendza scored the goals for the Panthers.
The Congolese, meanwhile, missed out for the first time since 2012, having appeared at the last four tournaments.
Elsewhere, Egypt drew 1-1 in Kenya to secure the point they needed in Group G to qualify for the finals in Cameroon.
