Newcastle’s Ousmane Diabaté completes 90 minutes in Guinea victory

Newcastle United midfielder Ousmane Diabaté played the full 90 minutes as Guinea secured a 1-0 victory over Kenya on Thursday. Serhou Guirassy scored the decisive goal in the 32nd minute at the Stade du 28 Septembre in Conakry. The win earned Guinea their first three points of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign following an earlier loss to South Africa.

Diabaté was officially signed by Newcastle from Gençlerbirliği on September 4 before returning to the Turkish club on loan for the 2026/27 season. The teenager's starting appearance provides valuable competitive international experience alongside his club development on loan.
