The Young Scorpions of The Gambia U20 have made history by qualifying to the final of the ongoing Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt after defeating Nigeria 1-0 during the semifinal game played yesterday in Cairo.

Adama Bojang scored the game’s only goal in the match after capitalizing from an open defence to sweep it home in the 8 minutes of the first period.

The Gambian side, who, despite finishing the game with 10-men, become the only team in the competition yet to concede a goal.
