Burkina Faso face Egypt in the African Cup of Nations on Wednesday, Feb. 1. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Egypt staved off Morocco in the quarterfinals of the African Cup of Nations to earn a spot in the semfinals. Burkina Faso, who won Group A, defeated Tunisia with two late goals to advance to Wednesday’s match against Egypt.
Egypt, who have won seven AFCON tournaments, defeated Morocco on a 88th minute goal from Kahraba in the quarterfinals. Their play at this year’s AFCON is encouraging after Egypt failed to qualify for the tournament in 2012, 2013 and 2015. Now Egypt are one game away from playing for their eighth AFCON title but need to get off to a faster start than they did against Morocco.
On the other hand, Burkina Faso defeated Tunisia 2-0 in the quarterfinals. Bancé and Nakoulma scored in the 81st and 85th minutes, respectively. Both of these players should be critical to Burkina Faso’s success against Egypt. Their best finish at AFCON came in 2013 when they finished as runner-ups.
