Gambia ends pitiful AFCON campaign

The Gambia Scorpions on October 8 ended a pitiful African Nations Cup qualifying campaign in a draw (1-1) with Burkina Faso in their home ground, the Independent Stadium, Bakau.
Gambia went into the game with heads held low and hoping to gain nothing near a qualification spot, having shamefully lost to Namibia in Windhoek earlier.
On Saturday, the players, being mentally prepared to play for pride even lost a great part of it hence the belief was a win will do just that, with favourites Burkina Faso, who topped Group F, grabbing a late equalizer owing to a lack of concentration or determination at the Scorpion’s defence.
