Cold shower for Burkina Faso. A few weeks following their 4e place at CAN 2021, which marked their comeback among the African selections that count, the Stallions sank 5-0 once morest Kosovo this Thursday in Pristina in a friendly match.
Aliti (3rd), Selmani (23rd), Vojvoda (53rd), Rashica (68th) and Domgjoni (75th) struck for the selection coached by Alain Giresse, 109e in the FIFA rankings (Burkina Faso is 56e).
It should be noted that the Burkinabè, trained by the interim Oscar Barro, were deprived of executives like Bertrand Traoré, Issoufou Dayo, Ibrahim Blati Touré and Hervé Kouakou Koffi. Next meeting next Tuesday once morest a completely different opposition: Belgium, number one in the FIFA rankings! Not necessarily reassuring…
Burkina Faso starting XI: F. Ouédraogo – Yago, S. Ouattara, E. Tapsoba, Guiebré – Bryan Dabo, Guira – Bayala, Sangaré, D. Ouattara – CD Ouattara.
