Gambia U20 coach Abdoulie Bojang could not hide his joy after guiding his country to their ever final of the U20 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Young Scorpions defeated seven-time Champions Nigeria 1-0 in the semi-final on Monday.
Adama Bojang’s goal in the 7th minute secured Gambia’s passage to Saturday’s final against Senegal.
“I am proud of my players who keep writing the history of our football,” coach Abdoulie Bojang said.
“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.”
The Young Scorpions are undoubtedly the sensation of the tournament in Egypt, winning all their games before stunning one of the favourites in the last four.
“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.”
The final at the Cairo International Stadium on Saturday, 11 March, will rekindle the two country’s footballing rivalry as they both seek a maiden U20 AFCON crown.
