Guinea head coach Paul Put is delighted to see his team make it into the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations, despite making it through as one of the four best third-placed teams.
Having failed to win any games since their 2-0 victory over Rwanda in 2018, the Syli Nationale finally grabbed their first win this year and a first in the tournament, courtesy of a brace from Auxerre forward Mohamed Yattara against Burundi.
Guinea finished third in Group B, with tournament debutants Madagascar topping the standings, following their surprising 2-0 victory over Nigeria.
