00:00for the most talented teams on the African continent
00:05it's the group stage the second round of matches at this Africa Cup of Nations
00:16we are underway for this big big match Gambia against Somalia
00:21no team dare lose and work but good from Gambia as well looking to pick it up
00:26early on there's a mistake is this the chance the shot and there's a real
00:30chance again they're all lining up and it's in a penalty
00:36Craig Mulcagney is pointing to the spot Drame's shot was saved there was a foul
00:42in there Somalia don't like it but it's going to be an early chance for
00:46Gambia
00:48Diassis
00:53Ali Oudrame it's a good finish it's a perfect start for Gambia
00:58a penalty in the early minutes you can see what it means to the
01:02team in red and blue and no nerves from Ali Oudrame
01:07just passing it into the goal frustration for Ahmed Abdiassis but
01:11he couldn't do anything about that it was just a good finish and it's one nil
01:14for Gambia he's got some really good talent as we've
01:19seen
01:23again into the opposition box is this going to be a second one
01:27it is Drame's done it again Drame has two and he's showing what a class act he
01:34is Gambia have a second there's no stopping
01:37them at the moment and Ali Oudrame already has a pair
01:42Somalia are struggling Gambia are flying Gambia two Somalia nil
01:51what a start for Ali Oudrame and he's showed great power there
01:56and courage determined to get that past the keeper Ahmed Abdiassis
02:00he does exactly that there's no stopping him for the moment
02:04what a talent and they want more good header on it was
02:08from Souso
02:11and Gambia are in control
02:16it's Bilal again
02:20he's a lot of red and blue shirts so sensibly goes back but it's picked up
02:24well is this going to be the chance for a
02:26third there was a bit of a slip for Souso
02:29Souso still Souso brilliantly done from Souso over the bar
02:35why he did everything right to forgive youngsters who
02:38do want to impress and try and attack and defend but there's a
02:41lot of football ahead of the Somalia players
02:45especially those defenders as the shot is collected by Abdiassis
02:48Gambia again Sané it's a good pull through there's no
02:51offside is that going to be a second good save
02:54Souso shot and Abdiassis just scrambling it wide
03:00Somalia having a bit of trouble with the offside here because
03:03Gambia very cleverly are playing right on the edge of the last
03:07defender and that's giving them space and opportunities to shoot
03:17it's control on the chest from Souso showing brilliant skill Babali power
03:23too still Babali can he get it across to
03:26Souso it's gonna fall to Drame, Drame for a
03:30hat-trick well they're on to him there and
03:35Souso looked like he might have just fumbled the ball into his own net
03:40there maybe losing sight of it in the sun
03:46this is a nice angle to have a look at it Souso challenged him quite rightly did
03:50that go over there is goal line technology of course
03:54and the challenge was from Babali
03:58Sarjo it's gonna break to Babali
04:03really got his bootstraps behind that one Babali
04:07plenty of power just over
04:16really struck that one well impressive hits but it's a little bit too high
04:23in they come
04:28swung in it was a nice idea is it going to break to a white shirt it does
04:31Mohamed Zakaria
04:38and this is a chance for the third it's gonna bubble in
04:41from nowhere Besente Mendy the substitute has only been on a few
04:46minutes he took a swing at the ball it took a
04:49wild deflection but Gambia have a third before the break
04:53they're in total control a little bit unfortunate there for Ahmed
04:57Abdiasis but it's a goal for Besente Mendy
05:01and three nil for Gambia looked like Somalia had control of the
05:06ball there but it was just a scoop goalwards big big deflection
05:12but it will certainly claim that one if they're going to rescue anything
05:15from this match deep into stoppage time
05:22that is that for the first half a superb first half it was for
05:29the Gambia team three nil up with two for drama an early ball out of his net
05:34three times
05:38we're underway in the second half Somalia three nil down Gambia have been
05:42hugely impressive in that first half Yassine Zakaria Somalia would love to
05:48get one early on in the second half to give them a chance they put it across
05:52and they've got a goal Somalia are back in it they have their
05:55first goal of the tournament and what a strike from
05:59Anas that means so so much to Somalia and Issa Mohammed Anas has made it
06:063-1
06:11well maybe there is going to be a comeback story here
06:14it was a super cross wasn't it and Anas just
06:18getting in the right place was that something that was said at halftime I
06:21wonder look at the run from the number 10
06:23check there was no offside first good work from
06:26Zakaria wasn't it the number nine just whipping it across
06:30and a smart finish it's 3-1
06:39Sonny Somalia driving through for a second good save from Jame
06:44it can't be put in the rebound from Anas one very nearly second but Gambia
06:50winning back is this a chance to get back to 4-1 and
06:53the shot didn't quite have enough on deliveries have been pretty good today
06:57that one's short Issa Anas
07:01and that was held and well held by a Bemba Jame
07:05Yassine Zakaria hoping to run that one off the corner swung in
07:10and the header is there it's another one for Jame
07:14a hat-trick for this rising star of Gambia football
07:18and no one was getting anywhere near Drama there
07:22a towering header and it's another goal and surely now the points
07:26are going to Gambia it's 4-1 and the star of the day Drama does it
07:33again a super header
07:39excellent corner it was wasn't it but Drama no one was getting anywhere near
07:44him great timing just saw that coming
07:49powerful header passed out discipline at the back that
07:52was something that Yayar Mane talked about
07:54ahead of the competition in his pre-tournament news conference suddenly
07:58it's three on one from nowhere a real chance for another
08:01one Besente Mendy it's a five-star performance from Gambia
08:08Besente Mendy slips it past Abdiasis the Somalian defence was absent
08:14and there's going to be huge celebrations now because this
08:18is a convincing win for Gambia and they're showing
08:21that they're a real threat at this 2025 Africa Cup of Nations
08:27Besente Mendy makes it five
08:34once that ball was won the team in white were in real trouble and just a calm
08:39finish from Mendy 5-1
08:45it's a crucial intervention there wasn't it from Kanye
08:53fans will enjoy that it's all over in El Jadida convincing win for Gambia
09:00who have their first points on the board
09:04three goals a really impressive display from the Barcelona player
