The
Gambia National CHAN team yesterday left Banjul for Bamako prior to their
crucial 2018 CHAN qualifiers second-leg clash with Mali on Saturday 22 July
2017 in Bamako.
The
home-based Scorpions were held to a goalless draw by the local based-Eagles in
the first-leg tie played at the Independence Stadium in Bakau at the weekend.
The
Gambia now need a score draw in the second leg in Bamako on Saturday to advance to the second round of the
qualifiers following their goalless draw with Mali in the first leg, but a win
for Mali will see them through to the second round of the qualifiers and The
Gambia out.
A
goalless draw in the second leg in Bamako on Saturday will push the game into a
penalty shootout and the winner in the shootout will play against Mauritania or
Liberia in the final round of the qualifiers.
