FC Zurich forward Assan Ceesay was the Scorpions' hero scoring the all-important winner against the Palancas Negras in Bakau's Independence stadium to book a place at the delayed showpiece event which would take place in Cameroon next January. The Scorpions are to sting in Cameroon! ��
Coach Tom Saintfiet's team had to start from the qualifications’ preliminary rounds, as they were among the lowest ranked teams in the continent.
