Gambia
National team, the Scorpions on Tuesday returned home from Limbe, after their
2-0 defeat away to Cameroon in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers played
on Saturday.
The
Indomitable Lions shocked The Gambia in the return leg fixtures to qualify for
the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations to be hosted in Gabon.
The
four-time African champions Cameroon finished top in group M of the 2017 Africa
Cup of Nations with 14 points in six outings and are also unbeaten throughout
the qualifiers.
Gambia
finished bottom place in group M of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers
with only 2 points in six games after losing three games against Mauritania and
South Africa 2-1 and 4-0 respectively.
They
thereafter lost to Cameroon 1-0 in the first leg in Banjul in 2015 and 2-0 in
the second leg in Limbe in 2016.
The
Scorpions finished the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers without a victory
in six games.
The
Gambia now need to wait for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to search
their luck to qualify for the first-ever Africa Cup of Nations appearance since
the inception of the continent’s bi-annual biggest football jamboree.
