Bouaké: The Etalons of Burkina Faso and the Fennecs of Algeria tied the game with 2 goals everywhere on Saturday at the Stade de la Paix in Bouaké (Ivory Coast), counting for the 2nd day CAN group matches in group D , we noted. The Stallions started the meeting in a position of leader of Pool D and therefore did not attack from the start so as not to discover themselves. A 3-5-2 system was put in place by coach Hubert Velud, a strategy he used to beat DR Congo in a preparation match for this CAN. It is in such a situation that Mohamed Konaté at the forefront of the Burkinabe attack inherits a long pass from Fessal Tapsoba to open the scoring with a header. A goal which will subsequently be confirmed by the VAR in stopping time in the first period of play (45+3). Returning from the locker room, the Fennecs pressed and obtained the equalizer through their serial scorer Baghdad Bounedjah (51st ) , pushing the Burkinabè to leave their base. As in the first match against Mauritania, it was captain Bertrand Trao ré, who entered during the match, who transformed the penalty (71st ) caused by the spinning player Issa Kaboré. The Algerians with their backs to the wall will not give up and will succeed in restoring parity in the score with the inevitable Bounedjah (90+3) who scores his 3rd goal in this competition. He was also named man of the match. From the start of the game, the Algerians went after the Burkina in their camp. A few scares with a very hesitant Issoufou Dayo who almost gave Baghdad Bounedjah a goal ball as a good surface fox (26th ) . Burkinabè goalkeeper Hervé Koffi had to deploy to repel Soufiane Feghouli's heavy strike (44 ' ). It was after these two actions that the Stallions decided to play fair. For Burkinabe central defender Nasser Djiga, who was not faultless on the Algerian equalizing goal, 'I came into a difficult match and I did what I could do. We are a little disappointed with this draw because we wanted more.' 'Burkina Faso has great ambitions in this CAN,' added the member of Red Sta r of Serbia, promising to continue working. Burkina Faso and Angola lead Group D with 4 points (+1) each, followed by Algeria (2 points) and Mauritania (0 points). The 3rd and final day of group matches will be played simultaneously and the Stallions will cross cleats with the Palancras Negras of Angola while the Fennecs will face the Mourabitounes of Mauritania.
