A short ball from France goalkeeper Jan Linard was intercepted by the Gambia in the middle of the field, and in a momentary counter-attack, Gambia’s Adama Boyang’s shot bounced off the French goalkeeper and a defender before finding the back of the net.

The Gambia had a chance to make it 2-0 12 minutes into the second half when they were awarded a penalty corner, but the French goalkeeper made the save.

Having survived the crisis, France equalised in the 16th minute of the second half when Wilson Odobe headed home from a free-kick.

However, the Gambia scored the final goal of the match in the 23rd minute when Mamin Sanyang broke into the penalty area and beat one defender with a right-footed shot.

The Gambia will face South Korea in their third group game at 6am on the 29th.

In other Group E action, England made it two wins in a row with a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Uruguay to progress to the last 16.

If South Korea finish second in Group F, they will meet the runners-up from Group E in the round of 16.
