Sylla strike sends Guinea to CHAN semi-finals
Guinea secured their place in the semi-finals of the African Nations Championship in Cameroon on Sunday after defeating Rwanda 1-0 in a match which saw both sides finish with ten men at the Limbe Stadium.
The VAR intervened twice during the quarter-final match to ensure that Syli National midfielder Mory Kante and Rwanda goalkeeper Olivier Kwizera were sent off in separate incidents.
Guinea playmaker Morlaye Sylla scored from the resultantly free-kick in the 60th minute after Kwizera was penalised for his late tackle on advancing striker Yakhouba Barry.
The goal was enough to send Guinea to the last four of the tournament in the Central African country where they will face neighbours Mali on Wednesday.
