The Gambia are through to the U20 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals in Egypt and Fifa World Cup in Indonesia after thrashing South Sudan 5-0 at the Haras El Hodood Stadium on Friday.
A brilliant performance from the West Africans as the Scorpions of Gambia thrashed debutantes Bright Stars of South Sudan 5-0 in the most comprehensive victory of the African Youth Championship in Egypt.
Their big triumph means the Gambians became the third country to qualify for the World U20 championships in Indonesia in May this year.
With a hattrick for Adama Bojang and a goal apiece for Moses Jarju, Mahmudu Bajo condemned South Sudan to their worst defeat in the tournament thus far.
The Gambia join their neighbours Senegal as the only teams to win all their matches without conceding a goal and also seal places at the semis and the World Cup.
