Former Lorient player Dango Ouattara opened the scoring for Burkina Faso in the 12th minute and despite Kodjo Laba’s equalizer 14 minutes later, this result was enough to secure qualification to their 13th AFCON appearance with two match days to go.
On top of Group B with 10 points, the Stallions could no longer be joined by Togo or Eswatini who only had two points with two match days remaining. A 3-1 loss to Cape Verde before a goalless draw with Eswatini did not affect Burkina Faso’s fate.
The player to watch: Edmond Tapsoba
Edmond Tapsoba is a right-footed defender known for his sense of anticipation, maturity, heading and recovery. He is also very rarely booked – a quality that is very key.
His ‘clean’ play on the pitch brings a certain serenity to his defense posture. His good game reading, effective positioning and excellent heading allow him to intercept numerous balls and cut off most of the opposing offensive plays.NYSC Portal
Thanks to his technical quality, he makes good restarts. He is very fast which is rare for a central defender, and he is blessed with a powerful shot. Tapsoba has no difficulty projecting himself forward when the game requires it.
The coach: Hubert Velud
Hubert Velud is praised for the offensive play of his teams. His style of play is based on intensity, aggressive pressing and bags of energy therein.
His teams play a game based on conservation – a fluid and worked system and set pieces.
On this point he says: “They have great importance in modern football. I want my team to produce play and always look to play. We must not calculate.”InformationGuideNigeria
He particularly appreciates doubling passes and playing in triangles in small spaces. Full-backs play an important role in his tactical plan by providing a lot of offensive solutions.
