FT: Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
The Carthage Eagles just did not create enough clean cut chances.
Koffi’s saves goal scoring saves were minimal.
They had a lot of possession and pass it around well but there is no penetration.
FT: Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
It is easy to remark on the attacking play of Burkina Faso, but defensively they were very solid today.
Koffi did so well to play the whole game considering his early knock which needed treatment several times.
With the need now for a striker for the semi-final maybe it is set up perfectly for the return of Bertrand Traore.

Kamou Malo can now take his crown of ‘tactical genius’.
He threw us all, including Tunisia, with his team selection.
The result shows how right he was.

Amazingly the referee blew the whistle early.

90+2. Tunisia are hoping to create one last chance.
They pass their way forward to the edge of the box, playing it out wide.
The cross comes in but Koffi gathers easily.
Big cheer from the crowd.

90+1. The Stallions try and retain possession in the Tunisia half.
They go into the corner and manage to win a corner much to the dismay of the defender.
They try to waste time too much and referee intervenes.

90. We will have four added minutes.

89. We are approaching the 90th minute, Tunisia probing and passing.
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
87. A rare attacking phase for Burkina Faso.
They try to create some space, threading a pass through on goal.
The defender reads it all too well and cuts out the pass.
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
85. Rafir has a chance to cross but it is blocked.
The ball is immediately played back to him out wide.
Rafir’s cross is high, wide and not very handsome when you are chasing a goal.
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
82. Dango, the goalscorer, has been sent off.
Hero to zero.
Got to feel for the youngster as there didn’t seem real intent but he did catch him in the face with his elbow nonetheless.
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
80. Dango receives a yellow card for an arm in the face of Maaloul.
Looking at the replay he catches him square with the elbow.
VAR has asked the referee to look at the monitor.
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
78. Hats off to the referee.
Usually the call to the monitor means a change of mind but not this time.
Right decision for me but nice to see the official take control there as he awards a throw in.
NO PENALTY!
VAR decision……
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
75. Tunisia come forward and the ball is fed into Khazri.
He beats his man but the ball squirms away from him.
S Ouattara clears the ball but seems to follow through on Khazri.
VAR asks the referee to look at the monitor.
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
72. It is decision time for The Stallions.
Do they give up on attacking and just let Tunisia come on to them to hit them on the break?
A second goal would see off the Carthage Eagles surely?
Burkina Faso 1 Tunisia 0
69. Tunisia keep the pressure on.
Khazri keeps the ball in on the byline and wins a corner.
The cross comes in but is dealt with.
Dango’s goal still separates these teams.
