Gambia U20 coach: ‘We deserve the win versus Nigeria’

Gambia U20 coach Abdoulie Bojang says his side deserves to beat Nigeria and play in the final of the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Young Scropions edged past seven-time champion and favourites Nigeria in the semi-final played on Monday.

Adama Bojang scored the winner after seven minutes to send Gambia to Saturday’s final against Senegal.

“I am proud of my players who keep writing the history of our football,” coach Abdoulie Bojang said after his side’s victory against Nigeria.

“It is extraordinary, magnificent, satisfactory and much more than that.

“We have scored 10 goals in this competition without conceding. We’re a small country which now plays in the tournaments.”

“It is a deserved victory. We will fight for the title against Senegal,” Bojang said.

“Senegal is winning everything right now. We must prevent them on Saturday.”
