Despite fielding a lineup comprised largely of emerging talents, Guinea displayed formidable cohesion and skill, with Morlaye Sylla and Mamadou Kane leading the charge. Sylla’s clinical brace in the 7th and 62nd minutes, along with Kane’s impressive double in the 37th and 56th minutes, underscored Guinea’s dominance. Kandet Diawara and Ousmane Camara also contributed to the rout with goals in the 8th and 16th minutes respectively, leaving Vanuatu reeling in their wake.

Meanwhile, Cape Verde embarked on a more modest journey against Guyana, securing a hard-fought 1-0 victory in Jeddah. Despite an early lead courtesy of Ryan Mendes’ goal in the 2nd minute, Cape Verde struggled to assert dominance against their resilient opponents.
While Mendes’ strike provided an early advantage, Cape Verde failed to capitalize on their momentum, ultimately settling for a narrow victory.
As the Blue Sharks aim to refine their strategy and elevate their performance, they face a formidable challenge against Equatorial Guinea on Monday, where they will seek to showcase their true potential on the global stage.
