Several attempts were made to win the game but the Ghanaian players prevented them from scoring.
Abdoulie Ken Mansally and Sainey Nyassi made several efforts to save the Gambia but luck was not on their side; however the Ghanaian players were hungry for goals likewise their Gambian counterparts but in the 85thminutes of the second halfAbeiku Quansahscored for Ghana whichdashed The Gambia's qualification hope for the African youth championship in Rwanda.
Immediately after the match most of the Gambian fans, who spoke to Point Sports expressed disappointment with Lamin Sarr in the way he handled the game.
