Korhogo: The Stallions of Burkina Faso are eliminated from the 34th edition of CAN Côte d'Ivoire 2023 at the round of 16 stage , beaten Tuesday evening at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly stadium in Korhogo, by the conquering Eagles of Mali (2 to 1), we noted on site. Two defensive errors from the Stallions were fatal to them. The very strong pressure from the Eagles of Mali forced the experienced central defender of Bayer Leverkusen (Germany) Edmond Tapsoba to score against his side in the 2nd minute of the match. This situation disoriented the Burkinabè team which resisted as best it could in the face of the vivacity of the Eagles. No physical impact in the midfield, Hubert Velud's foals who only suffered during the first 45 minutes. Returning from the locker room Bertrand Traoré and his comrades will once again be put to the test. They were once again caught cold by this goal from the Malian striker from AJ Auxerre (France) Lassiné Sinayoko who infiltrated the Burkinabè defense without resistance to carry the b low to 2 goals to 0 ( 46th ). The Amadou Gon Coulibaly stadium, with its 19,184 spectators who made the trip, are nevertheless committed to the cause of the Burkinabè. The pressure is mounting and supporters are calling for a revolt. Coach Velud made changes and managed to stabilize his midfield with the arrivals of Sacha Bancé and Cédric Badolo. The Malians lose possession of the ball, which is profitable for Burkinabè. In a mix-up, the Malian defense made a mistake in the penalty area. The referee is called by the VAR (video assistance refree) who whistles a penalty for Burkina Faso. As a good penalty taker, captain Bertrand Traoré executed perfectly to reduce the score, his 3rd penalty goal in the competition (56th ) . Despite 8 minutes of stopping time and the entry of star striker Dango Ouattara, the Stallions were unable to return to the mark and left the competition. During the last CAN in Cameroon, Burkina Faso managed to reach the semi-finals and ranked 4th in the tournament. This is the 5th time in 6 meetings that Mali has beaten Burkina Faso.
