Koffi’s Parade!
What an entry into the game of Maaloul! He is still dangerous from a set piece, with a perfectly placed free kick on the right. Moffi relaxes very well and concedes a corner.
Tapsoba called to order
The central defender makes a mistake just in front of his surface and also concedes a dangerous free kick.
Stunning Ifa Rescue
Very dangerous center in the Tunisian area from the right side. Ifa dives perfectly to save his people from a very nice tackle.
Ben Said gets a scare
Koffi clears very far towards Ouattara. The Tunisian goalkeeper is wrong in his timing and must clear in touch, without consequence.
Burkina emerges in pain
Maaloul’s second corner is very well hit but once again pushed aside by a defense that is increasingly in demand.
New corner for Tunisia
Maaloul plays back towards Khazri, whose full-axis shot is too crushed.
Bayala on stretcher
The Bukinabé striker is evacuated from the field by the healers after an unfortunate contact with Khazri, who had slipped on the ball.
Khazri’s failure!
On the right side, Sliti sends a cross shot which arrives on Khazri, alone at the far post, whose recovery in front of goal is not adjusted!
Burkina not immune
The tension rises in the camp of the Stallions. Tunisia has been insisting for a few minutes and preventing the opponent’s recovery. This second period promises a great show.
Jaziri gets the corner
Superb shot from Jaziri who manages to turn around in the box and finally gets a corner, after a long Tunisian possession.
Skhiri does not target his volley
Superb gesture from the middle, very well balanced, which however misses the target and hits above. This second period starts on a very good pace.
Bayala close to the break!
What an opportunity for Burkina Faso! On an express counter, Bayala is served on the right side of the surface and lights Ben Said in an off-center position. The Tunisian goalkeeper makes a huge save to keep his team alive.
Good exit from Ben Said
Vigilant, the Tunisian goalkeeper comes out far from his goal to get ahead of Ouattara, author of a good mistake in passing.
Laidouni informed
Laidouni is sanctioned for protest and will be suspended for the semi-final, in the event of Tunisian qualification.
Double change for the Eagles of Carthage
Sliti and Maaloul enter in place of Ben Slimane and Haddadi for this second period.
It’s back to Garoua!
Tunisia has 45 minutes to react and avoid the door before the last four!
Half time!
The Stallions made the difference on the last occasion of a very balanced first period! Tunisia is back to the wall.
OUATTARA GOOOOO!
Burkina Faso scores just before the break!
Sangaré recovers and launches Dango Ouattara against in depth, on the right side. He eliminates Haddadi thanks to his speed before playing Ifa and Bronn to deceive Ben Said, all alone!
2 minutes of added time
The Stallions go back on the attack in this decidedly very open end of the first period!
Khazri finds the wall
The Tunisian number 10 takes his chance directly on an eccentric free kick. It’s in the wall and it finally gives a corner. Burkina Faso is doing well.
Risky exit from Koffi
The Burkinabé goalkeeper fouls Jaziri just to the right of his area, and receives a logical warning.
Sangaré shoots over
Attempts multiply at the end of the first act. Very far from the goal, Sangaré takes his chance, but it is well above the Tunisian goal.
Outtara sollicite Ben Said
Another perfect opening from Yago in the back of the defense. Dj.Ouattara recovers in the area and instantly strikes from the right. On the Tunisian goalkeeper, who captures.
Ifa contains Kabore
The overflow of the right side will not pass this time against the excellent coverage of Ifa, which allows his goalkeeper to recover a goal exit.
Tapsoba close to the goal gag
On a goal kick played by two, Tapsoba does not see Jaziri arriving behind his back. The Tunisian striker tackles when clearing and the ball passes very close to Koffi’s goal…
It’s heating up on the Burkinabe goal!
More danger from Khazri’s paw. His corner finds Msakni’s header then Laidoni’s right foot, but it goes over the top.
Nice opening of Yago
Da.Ouattara comes very close to succeeding in his control in the middle of the surface after this caviar from Yago. Ben Said can recover, very happy to see his vis-à-vis miss the ball.
Jaziri goes deep
The Tunisian center-forward is served but signaled in an offside position. Khazri’s teammates are finally showing offensively.
Tunisia wakes up
Another free kick kicked by Khazri, this time on the right side. The center of Stéphanois is pushed back, but the Eagles of Carthage remain in the opposing camp.
Khazri’s missile!
Despite the very distant position of the free kick, Khazri takes his chance directly and strikes full axis, with a floating trajectory. Koffi is alert and relaxes well as the ball spins under his bar.
Tunisia has still not drawn
Opposite, Burkina Faso already has three strikes, including one on target.
Bayala in a closed angle!
Bayala overflows on the left of the surface and chooses the shot in an off-center position. Ben Said makes a good save and relieves his defense. The corner gives nothing.
First corner for Tunisia
It is played with two and finally captured by Koffi, despite a very well placed center. Burkina can revive quickly.
Burkina starts better
Interesting start to the match for the Stallions, who manage to project themselves easily onto the opposing goal. Conversely, Tunisia is much too discreet and imprecise.
Guira alerte Ben Said
A distant free kick hit directly by Tapsoba is countered and ends up at the feet of Guira who tries his luck in first intention. It is once again deflected and recovered without danger by the Tunisian goalkeeper.
It’s not going better for Koffi
The Burkinabé goalkeeper is treated again, at the level of the thigh. Ouedraogo intensifies his warm-up on the edge of the lawn.
First shot of the match for the Stallions
The distant attempt of T.Ouattara is countered and quietly ends its race in the gloves of Ben Said.
Kaboré sows danger
The powerful center on the right side of the side passes in front of the Tunisian goal, without any partner being able to resume. Small alert for the Eagles of Carthage.
The Reds press high
Like S.Ouattara, the stifling pressing of Tunisia, who is playing in red tonight, forces his opponent to get clear quickly and lose the ball.
The game finally resumes
While Sangaré also seemed to suffer in his area, Koffi was finally able to get up to play the free kick. But his replacement left for the warm-up as a precaution.
Koffi on the ground
The Burkinabé goalkeeper was hit hard by Msakni, at the end of the race after a missed control in the area.
Tunisia stands out
First possession for Kebaier’s men. After a cross from Khazri dismissed, we insist on the right side of the surface, without success.
First free kick for the Burkinabés
It’s hit on the left side by Sangaré, but pushed back for a corner by the Tunisian defense. Behind, the center is missed.
Burkina keeps the ball
Tunisia have yet to see the ball after two minutes, but the Stallions are still a long way from Ben Said’s goal.
Let’s go between Burkina Faso and Tunisia!
A place in the last four of the CAN is at stake, excellent match to all!
Kick-off imminent
The two teams enter the lawn of the Roumdé Adjia stadium in Garoua and prepare to sing their national anthem. The start of the match will not be long.
The Eagles of Carthage on a very good series
Wahbi Khazri’s teammates are preparing to play their fourth straight CAN quarter-final, the best current series, and the fifth in the last six editions.
A history to the advantage of Burkina
The two teams have already faced each other twice in the quarter-finals of the CAN. The record is two victories for Burkina Faso, in 1998 and 2017.
Tunisia is gaining momentum
Beaten by Mali (0-1) and Gambia (0-1) in the group stage, the Eagles of Carthage had in the meantime corrected Mauritania (4-0). But it was in the round of 16 that Tunisia made a strong impression, beating Nigeria (1-0).
Only one victory for Burkina
Second in their group behind the host country, Burkina Faso lined up a victory (against Cape Verde, 1-0), a draw (against Ethiopia, 1-1) and a defeat (against Cameroon, 1-2 ) to reach the round of 16. At this stage, the Stallions put in a good performance by taking out Gabon on penalties (1-1, 7-6 TAB).
Cameroon first qualified for the semi-finals
Carried by a double from Toko-Ekambi, the Indomitable Lions have just disposed of Gambia (2-0). Cameroon is the first team qualified for the last four, where it will find Egypt or Morocco.
Traoré substitute for the Stallions
Burkina Faso will have to do without its best element, the former Lyonnais Bertrand Traoré, only substitute. He played three games in this CAN, for a goal and an assist. It is Djibril Ouattara who will take the axis of the attack of the Stallions.
Khazri returns, Talbi absent
Absent from the match against Gambia (0-1) and came into play at the very end of the match against Nigeria (1-0), Wahbi Khazri finds the Tunisian starting lineup, on the left side of the attack.
In central defense, Montassar Talbi, who played the first four games in full, is affected by Covid-19 and absent. He is replaced by Messin Dylan Bronn.

The disturbed press conference
