We will do everything to advance to the second round, and to give more light and promotion to The Gambia, the smallest country in Africa.” [b]Omar Colley (Player, Gambia)[/b] “Proud to be in this group, I play in Italy, but this is something else, it is indescribable to live what we are living. With the offensive armada that we have, we will seek points against Mali and Tunisia to bring joy to the Gambian people. Our goal is to win, match by match.” [b]Mali Mali – Beware the sting[/b] Mali Eagles defeated Tunisia 1-0 in what was one of the opening match day surprises.
