Match Recap

Ghana looked in complete control early in this Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, racing 2-0 up inside 33 minutes through Ernest Nuamah and Felix Ohene Afena-Gyan. Then Gambia tore the game apart. Muhammed Badammosi pulled one back in the 37th minute, Omar Colley leveled five minutes later, and Ebrima Colley took over from there, striking in the 68th minute and again deep into stoppage time to complete a stunning 4-2 comeback win. Six goals in one wild afternoon flipped the qualifying picture on its head: Gambia sit second with three points and a win to open their campaign, while Ghana start with nothing, a loss, and work to do. Ebrima Colley's brace was the difference, turning a two-goal deficit into the story of the group. Watch every goal from Gambia's collapse-turned-comeback, including both of Colley's strikes and the gut-punch 90+1 finish that sealed it.
