But he was still able to help Gambia to a second win in four days.
The Albion winger went on after an hour as Gambia beat Burundi 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier.
Action was held up for about 20 minutes when some of the floodlights at the Nyayo National Stadium went out.
The result will not be enough to get Gambia anywhere near qualification for the 2026 finals.
The match was played in Kenya and Minteh was denied a goal by the Burundi keeper.
He had gone off towards the end of the 3-1 win over Kenya in the previous fixture but head coach Johnathan McKinstry said that was due to fatigue.
Carlos Baleba’s hopes of qualification with Cameron were hit by a 1-0 defeat in their six-pointer against Cabo Verde.
The Albion midfielder started the game having missed the previous fixture due to suspension.
Cameroon are now four points behind Cabo Verde with two games to go in the race for the one automatic qualification place at the top of the group.
The four best group runners-up in Africa also go through but Cameroon are just outside that frame after the latest set of results.
Their World Cup fate will be decided next month when they face Mauritius and Angola.
