A goalkeeping error from Lamin Saidy helped Tanzania earn a point against The Gambia at the AFCON U-20 Championship underway in Mauritania.

The young Scorpions had lost their opening match against Morocco 1-nil two days ago.

On Friday, they returned to action against Tanzania where they put in an impressive performance leading 1-nil until the 88th minute when some disaster goalkeeping saw Tanzania equalize.

Gambia had a good first half where forward Momodou Bojang volleyed home a cross from Kajally Drammeh in the 39th minute.

Tanzania equalized through Dismas in the 88th minute when his free-kick just outside the box bounced over Lamin Saidy after he went to the ground before the ball could get to him.
