Burkina Faso v Tunisia, African Cup of Nations, quarter-final, 29/1/2022, line-ups. BeSoccer
Join us for live coverage of the African Cup of Nations quarter-final between Burkina Faso and Tnisia from the Roumde Adija Stadium in Garoua. The winners will face Senegal or Equatorial Guinea in the semi-final.
FT: B Faso (10) 1-0 Tunisia!! It's all over in Garoua and the ref blows 20 seconds early!!! B Faso were the better team and scored through Dango right on HT, but there was controversy as Tunisia were denied a clear penalty with 15 minutes left after Khazri was caught by S Ouattara after he cleared the ball. The VAR called the ref over, but he oddly stuck to his call. Dango later saw red for an elbow. Thanks for joining us and see you again soon!
93'
Tunisia put a ball into the area and Koffi catches it. The no pen call will be talked about the next couple of days.
92'
B Faso take a corner short, but it comes to nothing.
It's a red for Dango!!! It's been upgraded to a red and the ref loses his yellow while trying to take it away! Khazri has to give it to him. i think that's the right decision.
81'
Dango is booked for an arm in the face of Maaloul. The VAR is talking to him again, but I think a yellow is sufficient, in my opinion.
B Faso get a yellow card for timewasting. Bayala it is.
79'
No penalty says the referee! I'm surprised that wasn't given as a penalty. It could have even been a red (or at least a yellow) given the scissors motion. I think he's lucky.
78'
I think this is likely to be a penalty and a card.
76'
S Ouattara slides in and clears the ball, but then collides Khazri and that's very nasty. At least the Tunisian is back up and the ref is going to the screen!
75'
B Faso put a cross into the box, it's half cleared and then the long range strike is blocked.
45+2: Dango puts B Faso in the lead!!! A long ball is played from midfield by Toure to Dango, he runs forward and then gets away from the defenders to beat Ben Said!
45'
45+1: A ball into the area by Sangare looks for a man in the box, but the ball bounces through to the GK.
45'
Two extra minutes.
45'
Khazri's free-kick strikes the wall and goes for a corner.
Koffi has his name taken for a push in the back on Jaziri outside the box. No need to do that as he was going away from goal.
42'
B Faso go for a long range effort through Sangare, but it's nowhere near the target!
40'
Djibril!!! Yago plays a lovely pass for Djibril in the area, who controls, but his effort is straight at the goalie.
39'
Tunisia have a bit of ball, but without an end product.
36'
B Faso go forward again, but Ifa kicks the ball off Djibril (number 2).
35'
Almost comical scenes at the back! The B Faso GK leaves it off to his teammate and the clearance is blocked by Jaziri, but it goes just wide!
34'
Chance for Tunisia from the corner, but Laidouni can't keep his effort down.
32'
Another attack for B Faso, but the Dango can't control the ball in the area and the chance goes.
30'
Free-kick to B Faso, but the ball into the area is caught by the GK.
28'
B Faso are playing much better, but Khazri is looking dangerous for Tunisia.
27'
Khazri!!! He hits a swerving 30 yard free-kick and Koffi jumps to tip it over!
25'
Khazri starts a Tunisia attack, he lays off to Maskni and then wins a free-kick.
24'
Bayala!!! He gets past Drager and then he tries to beat the GK at his near post, but it's saved by Ben Said's legs and it goes for a corner! He went for a goal instead of looking to find a teammate.
23'
Another corner for Burkina Faso.
21'
Haddadi's centre is deflected behind for a corner.
19'
Another B Faso attacks sees Dango pass back from the by-line and Tunisia clear.
17'
Tapsoba's free-kick hitsthe wall, the ball breaks to another B Faso player, but his effort strikes a teammate!
15'
Koffi is down again and I'm not sure whether he will be able to continue after a blow to the knee and the thigh.
14'
Dango is fouled and he gets a free-kick about 30 yards from goal.
13'
Dango's deflected shot bounces kindly into the GK's hands. Good start by Burkina Faso.
13'
Khazri is penalised for a foul on Bayala.
12'
Burkina Faso attack and a ball across the box doesn't find a receiver.
11'
Msakni tries to play a through ball to a teammate, but it doesn't get through the defence.
8'
We're back underway here.
6'
GK Koffi and one of the B Faso defenders are getting treatment.
5'
Great play by Khazri as he cuts back from the by-line, Msakni gets a heavy touch to it and then collides with the GK as he looks to get there first. Foul by the Tunisian.
4'
The corner is taken short and Dango (number 28's shot goes acrsso the goal rather than towards it.
