| Zambia - Burkina Faso
1 : 1
Before
the match
Both
lost their first match are now looking for a positive turn. Zambia has
disappointed yet and is far away from dark horse form. Even hero Kalusha
Bwalya had been ineffective. But maybe the inexperienced Burkinabé
side is the right opponent to score goals and gain confidence.
Burkina
Faso did not look back against Senegal, but conceded a cricial goal right
in the first minutes of the match. They are able to create chances and
are a talented and skilful team. Yet they have to grow experience and concentration.
In the first match they played with the under 20 generation from Dutch
and Belgian clubs in attack and the older but home-based guys in the back.
A
draw would leave both in the race, but especially Burkina Faso with only
slim chances.
If
Burkina Faso loses, they will be formally eliminated.
If
Zambia does not win, Egypt will be formally qualified for next round.

1st
half
the match starts with
attacks from both, but without any goal scenes
-('15)
Zambia: Kalusha Bwalya free kick on the head of the unmarked Sichone, keeper
deflects for a corner
-('15)
the corner lands on the head of a Zambian player and from there in dierection
to the goal, there is Denis Lota with the back to it and scores by a overhead
kick from difficult angle - 1:0
-('20)
BFA: solo run by #7 Koudou but his shot across the bar
-('26)
Zambia: Sinkala shovels in a cross and Bwalya missels close with his dangerous
header

BFA: Zongo is conspicious with some runs but the Zambian defence recollects
in time

BFA: a dangerous Zongo freekick bounces in front of the goalkeeper, rebounds
from his hands, but two Burkinabé players cannot grasp the opportunity
-('31)
Zambia: a one-two by Sinkala and Lota, but Sinkalas shot is too soft
Especially
the Burkinabé run too long with the ball. That makes it easy for
defenders to close up spaces
-('37)
BFA: Zongo's free kick off target

BFA: Some back and forth high balls in and out the Zambian penalty area,
then a sudden 18 meter (20 yards) shot by a Burkinabé player, saved

time) 18 meter free kick for Burkina Faso: Ousmane Sanou around the wall
but wide

- 1:0
A increasingly entertaining
match with the superior team in Zambia. But Burkina Faso is threatening
the goal as well.
you want to know where
the Zambian players play?
you can't remember the
Burkinabé champions of 1997?
the author has just informed
me that the new African Yearbook
2000 is out now
2nd
half
the match continues being
entertaining with some half chances
-('55) Zambia: Kalusha Bwalya
hits the crossbar with a freekick - goalkeeper without chance
On the burkinabé
attacks the Zambian defenders accomplish to put the foot in at the öast
moments. The Zambian attacks come a little more closer
-('65) Zambians want a penalty
when Lota is brought down in the box. It is difficult to see whether Korbeogo
has touched the ball as well
-('68) BFA: slim opportunity
for Burkina Faso
-('72) Zambia: The probably
injured Lota is substituted
-('75)
Zambia: #3 Litana, strong defender up to here, sees the red card (2nd yellow?)
after a he fouls a broken through player on the left wing of the Burkinabé
counter attack

is also already booked, escapes with a foul
-('85) BFA: Oumar Barro
is unlucky on a solo run
-('88) BFA: a distance attempt
with power but off target
-('90) BFA: brilliantly
set up last moment goal - a stunning backheel pass by #7 Koudou to
substitute #9 Quedraogo sets him up free way to goal and he scores 1:1
-('injury time) Burkina
Faso try to go for the winner
Final result 1:1
Everything seemed clear,
Burkina Faso eliminated. But a last moment ingenuity saed them a slim chance
for the last match when they will have to beat Egypt and hope for the outcome
of the other match.
Zambia playd solid but did
not manage to score a second goal. They will have to beat Senegal to advance
and hope that the Egyptians do not play it too casually against Burkina
Faso.
Egypt is definitively qualified
for the quarter finals now
