Burkina Faso beats Tunisia to advance to Africa Cup of Nations semi-final

Burkina Faso’s team beat Tunisia 1-0 on Saturday and qualified for the semi-final of the African Cup of Nations. The underdog’s goal was scored by Ouattara in a beautiful individual move.

The opponent in the next phase will come out of the duel between Senegal and Equatorial Guinea, which will play this Sunday, at 16:00 (Brasília time).

In a first half with few chances, Burkina Faso was surgical. In stoppage time, Dango Ouattara received a deep pass, cleared two markers and hit the goal. The ball deflected in defense and killed the Tunisian goalkeeper.

In the second stage, Tunisia had possession, but found it difficult to bring danger to the opposing goal. Until, in the 37th minute, Ouattara, scorer of the goal, exaggerated in force and received a direct red card, after a VAR review.

In this way, the Tunisian team launched itself on the attack, but could not prevent Burkina Faso from qualifying for the semifinals.
