Guinean striker Mohamed Bayo emerged as the Man of the Match in his side’s game against Cameroon in the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023, which ended in a one-all draw.

Bayo scored Guinea’s only game goal Monday evening at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium. After being crowned as the Man of the Match, he dedicated the award to his mother, who he says has been helpful to him. “I am happy to have been crowned; I dedicate this award to my mother, especially because she often supports me in difficult times,” he said. Despite the draw, the 25-year-old striker expressed his satisfaction with their performance. “I think we played a good game.

This result was the work of all the players in the national team. I’m a striker and should score goals to help my country. “We regret that one of the players was sent off with a red card, and despite that, we played well,” he concluded.
