Burkina Faso â The Stallions to break their jinx
To reach CHAN 2020 in Cameroon, the Stallions of Burkina Faso had to pass the hurdle of Ghana Black stars.
Against the same opponent they defeated to reach CHAN 2018 in Morocco, the Burkinabe managed to win the first leg in Ghana with a goal scored in the dying minutes via Yannick Pognongo. Burkina Faso retained the advantage, settling for a goalless draw in Ouagadougou.
Coach Seydou Zerbo âKrolâ began his sideâs preparation phase, before the COVID-19 pandemic caused the finals to be postponed. But in the meantime, the Stallions have been able to deliver friendly matches. A goalless draw with Benin was followed by 1-0 victory over the same side, and then Burkina Faso had another barren stalemate with Togo.
