Gambia also tried to match Senegal physically but could not cope. Gambia were then reduced to 10 men when Ebou Adams was shown a straight red card for violent conduct in additional time.
They went into the interval trailing by a goal, but their hopes of a comeback quickly evaporated as Senegal doubled their lead seven minutes after the restart through Camara. Camara picked the ball from Ismaila Sarr before slotting in the far post.NYSC Portal
