Burkina Faso’s Stallions Pip Mauritania

Well, Burkina Faso emerged victorious in one of the closely-fought games at AFCON 2023 in the Ivory Coast. Bertrand Traore scored from a penalty kick deep inside injury time (90+6).

Mauritania played their hearts out and was dominant in the exchanges but lacked the Midas Touch.

Despite not playing too well, the Burkinabes proved experience is worthwhile ultimately accounting for the goal that separated them from the delightful, and entertaing opponents.
