the Stallions lead the score, Algeria in the tough

Double alert on the Fennecs goal

Touré hits just above. Just before, a vicious cross had almost been taken back by the Stallions. The Fennecs were hot.

Here we go again

The Fennecs have 45 minutes to show another face and above all to try to come back to the score or risk being in a very uncomfortable situation in this CAN.

Burkina Faso leads at the break!

Thanks to a goal from Konaté in added time, Burkina Faso leads 1-0 against Algeria at the break. The Stallions had been harmless until this sudden impulse.

BUUTTT FOR BURKINA FASO!!!!

Incredible Stallions! Konaté catapults a header into the Fennecs goal, the goal is first refused by the referee then validated after recourse to VAR. Against the run of play, the Stallions opened the scoring in added time and led 1-0 against Algeria

Algeria-Burkina Faso: 0-1

Four minutes of added time

Players suffering from the heat will have to play another four minutes.

Second big opportunity for Algeria

This time it’s Feghouli who forces Koffi to make a save on a cross shot from the right. Bounedjah takes the ball but completely misses.

Already a change among the Stallions

Hit in the ankle, Guira comes out, Ouédraogo comes into play.

Guira stays on the ground

But the Stallions midfielder got up after a few minutes of stoppage in play.

Huge opportunity for Algeria!

Bounedjah takes advantage of a poor recovery from Dayo to place a shot that goes just wide of the Stallions’ goals. It was very hot.

Sangaré warned in turn

The player from Burkina Faso receives a yellow card for a foul on Belaïli. He is the 2nd Stallion notified after Nagalo. Time for a refreshment break.

Bounedjah narrowly countered

The Algerian center forward almost found himself alone in front of goal after a great collective movement. The Stallions stop Bounedjah without making a mistake.

Belaïli very prominent

The former Brest and Ajaccio player is still at work on an attack on the left side. Safe for Burkina Faso.

Yellow card for Nagalo

The Stallions defender is warned for a foot too high.

72% possession for Algeria

The Fennecs impose their technical mastery but we are waiting for a first clear opportunity.

Great attempt from Belaïli

Very eccentric on the left side, the Algerian tries his luck. His curling shot forces Koffi to make a good save. Not sure the shot was on target.

Too much imprecision on the Algerian side

Like two openings that were too long, the Fennecs struggled to get close to Burkina Faso’s goals.

Small pace to start

The tempo is not very high for these first minutes. A first header from the Stallions does not worry Mandrea.

Let’s go !

Commitment to Algerians.

Let’s go for the hymns

Burkina Faso will play in green jersey, the Algerians in white.
