Gambia’s
Scorpions captain, Mustapha Jarju said his side’s principal objective was to
secure a win against Morocco’s Atlas Lions in the Saturday opener of the Brazil
2014 world cup qualifying round.
The
game ended their Group C match at the Independence Stadium in Banjul with a 1-1
draw on June 2, 2012.
Following a set of dismal performances in previous
international games, Captain Jarju knew just how important this game was.
“For us the game was very
important and also important for the Gambian supporters,” he said. “Even though
the objective was to secure a win, I believe the draw was a fair result.”
He said his side should
thank God for securing a point hence their aim of winning could not be
achieved. He is already looking forward to their trip to Darussalam on June 10
against the Taifa Stars of Tanzania.
He said: “Now the most
important thing is to give confidence to the team and hope to grab the three
points in Tanzania.”
