Algeria, crowned champions in 2019, are struggling at the Cartoon Tournament of African Nations, having only saved a 2:2 draw against Burkina Faso in the fifth minute of extra time. Despite this, exit from the subgroup is by no means certain.
Burkina Faso, who scored three points against Mauritania in the first round, also started well against the Algerians, with Mohamed Konate taking the lead in extra time in the first half. The goal marked the 16th consecutive Africa Cup of Nations match in which Burkina Faso has scored.
At the start of the second half, Baghdad Bounedjah took advantage of the confusion in front of goal to equalise, but in the 71st minute, with the help of VAR, Burkina Faso was awarded a penalty and Bertrand Traore, who intervened shortly before, from the change, I realize it with cold composure. The last word, however, remained with the Algerians, because 90+5. in the minute Bounedjah gets up after a corner kick and heads towards goal.
In the other match of the same group, Angola and Mauritania offered an unexpected shower of goals, given that the latter had not scored even once in the last six matches of the final phase of the tournament, and Angola had also only found the net seven times in ten games since the end of the tournament. 2010 tournament. Angola took the lead thanks to a goal from Gelson Dala, but let their opponents equalize at the end of the first half. The game turns in their favor in the 4th minute of the second half, when Dala takes the lead again and Gilberto immediately scores the third goal.
Aboubakary Koita’s powerful shot was not enough for Mauritania and Angola won 3:2, also putting them on the threshold of promotion. On the other hand, Algeria will have to work hard against Mauritania in the last round, because a draw will give them a total of three points in the subgroup, but they may not be among the winners with third place in the subgroup.
