Mauritania 0-1 Gambia LIVE! Jallow goal - AFCON 2022 result, match stream and latest updates today

Mauritania vs Gambia - LIVE!

The second game of Group F gets underway on Wednesday afternoon as Gambia make their Africa Cup of Nations debut.

While the tournament has certainly been enjoyable thus far, it’d be fair to say the goals are yet to come. Only since the opener have we seen more than one goal scored, perhaps indicative of the lack of preparation many teams had due to the Covid pandemic and the fact European teams were able to keep a hold of their players for so long.

Indeed, anyone looking for goals in this one might be disappointed, although Sierra Leone’s shock draw with Algeria does offer some hope of some nice surprises.

It will be fascinating to see how Gambia adapt to life on the grandest stage of African football, while Mauritania will surely look to improve on their 2019 AFCON showing.
