Modou Barrow pounces on Gabon keeper’s error while Musa Barrow adds second to hand Gambia 2-1 victory against Gabon

Striker Modou Barrow pounced on Gabon keeper’s error to hand Gambia the lead in the second half before Musa Barrow added a second to hand Gambia a huge boost in their bid for a place in next year’s African Cup of Nations competition.

Gabon’s keeper will have a day to forget after he failed to clear a back pass allowing Modou Barrow to slot home from close range in the second half.

Musa Barrow put the Gambia two-nil up after Steve Trawally set him up perfectly following a great counter-attacking football. Gabon pulled a goal back in the dying minutes after their towering centre-back Manga rose highest to head home from a free-kick.
