BERKANE- Guinea went through all the emotions but ended up winning down to the wire with a score of (2-1) in front of a valiant Ugandan team in Berkane in Morocco. It was the young Seydouba Cissé who scored the victorious goal for the Guineans in added time (90+4). A victory that brings a smile to the faces of the entire Guinean delegation present in Morocco, and especially the coach Kaba Diawara.
« We are happy even if it was very difficult. But, we retain the positive and the success. We especially scored in the last moments thanks to Seydouba Cissé. We are going to travel and hope to get a good result in Botswana. But, we must already forget this victory and come down to earth before this match because we saw that Uganda hardly lost at home against Mozambique. So, we will have to be serious and applied against them at home » Kaba Diawara will say at a press conference.
Guinea, Algeria and Mozambique share the lead in their group in these 2026 World Cup qualifiers, with 3 points. The Syli National will have to win in Botswana to always remain neck and neck with the Algerian favorite in particular. The Guineans are leaving Morocco by special flight this Saturday morning, heading to Botswana.
