Featuring in their first-ever knockout game at this level, Gambia narrowly scraped past the National Elephants of Guinea 1-0 in a tight affair at the Kouekong Stadium on Monday.
Musa Barrow was the match-winner in Bafoussam as he scored the only goal of the contest in the 71st minute to send Tom Saintfiet and his men into ecstasy at full time.
The Scorpions continue to defy the odds in their maiden AFCON appearance in which they have established themselves at the prime dark horses to keep an eye on.
Yusupha Njie was shown a straight red card in the final knockings of the victory over Guinea where he came on as a second-half substitute and the 28-year-old is suspended for Saturday's clash.
Since his debut in 2018, only Assan Ceesay and Ablie Jallow have scored more international goals than Musa Barrow who grabbed his second of this year's continental tournament last time out.

Cameroon
Cameroon saw off the threat of a highly-spirited Comoros outfit in a 2-1 triumph at the Stade d'Olembe on Monday to book their place in the quarterfinal of the AFCON.
Goals from Karl Toko Ekambi and Vincent Aboubakar put Toni Conceicao's men in the driving seat before Youssouf M'Changama set up a frenetic finale with a long-range free-kick nine minutes from time.
