CAN 2023 (Gr. B): two out of two for Burkina Faso© Eastafricanreport.com

The Burkinabè can exult: they have signed two victories in as many qualifying outings for CAN 2023.

Burkina Faso signed, this Tuesday, June 7, its second victory in a row in qualifying for CAN 2023 (Group B). The Stallions dominated on his ground the Shield of the King (Eswatini) for the account of the second day of the competition. However, the affair was badly started for the Burkinabè. Led on the scoreboard (1-0) shortly after the hour mark, following the opener of Sabelo Ndzinisa (64th), they only took five minutes to equalize thanks to  Dango Ouattara .

Ce dernier doublera la mise six minutes plus tard avant que Stephane Aziz Ki corse l’addition à 85e minute. Une minute avant le 3-1, l’Eswatini a été réduite à dix avec l’exclusion de Lindo Theminkosi Mkhonta.

With this success, Burkina Faso consolidates its place as leader of Pool B. The Stallions are guaranteed to remain at the top of the standings until the next day, next September. On the first day, they had dominated (2-0) the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde.

Justement, les Cap-Verdiens vont essayer de se remettre dans le sens de la marche. En fin de journée (17 h 30), ils feront face aux Eperviers du Togo. Le vainqueur de la rencontre prendra la deuxième place du groupe. En cas de nul, ce sont les Togolais qui seront derrière les Burkinabè.
