After taking Gambia (150th nation in the FIFA rankings) to the first African Cup of Nations in its history, Tom Saintfiet is on the way to qualifying his team for the second round.
The split obtained once morest Mali this Sunday (1-1) combined with the success once morest Mauritania (0-1) in any case allows the Scorpions to dream of the round of 16. “We remain the smallest in the competition, even if we have a lot of talent in the team”, tempers the 48-year-old Belgian who has been at the helm of The Gambia since 2018. “I’m delighted with our progress, but let us be Tom Thumb; we’ll do the rest later.”
Tom Saintfiet’s team will not have to lose once morest Tunisia on Thursday to realize their dream.
