The Scorpions of Gambia have stung the twinkle twinkle Black Stars of Ghana at the “nation’s Wembly” on Tuesday evening.

No matter how unconventional the opening paragraph appears to be, that was exactly what transpired at the Accra Sports Stadium.

The Gambians came from two goals down to defeat the no-longer so might Ghanaian senior national football team in front of an half-empty stadium.

Ernest Nuamah handed Ghana the lead from the penalty spot in the 27th minute before former wonder kid Felix Afena-Gyan scored a spectacular free-kick to have fans dreaming of a win at last.

The Gambians, however, seemed unperturbed by Ghana’s momentum as Badamosi and Colley restored parity and balance by halftime.

The Black Stars looked to turn things around— for the worse as Ebraim Colley ended up scoring a brace to complete a superb comeback for the Gambians.

Gambia are now on top of the Group C standings of the 2027 AFCON qualifiers with Ghana at the bottom with 0 points and minus four goals.
