SENEGAL MAKES IT TWO WINS AFTER A HARD FOUGHT GAME AGAINST BURKINA FASO

The WAFCON tournament in Morocco is gradually shaping up after the teams with determination to make history for themselves have started to prove why every other team should be weary when facing them.

Senegal faced Burkina Faso in their second game and showcased why they are one of the teams to reckon.

The game which started rather in the favour of Burkina Faso took a dramatic turn in the die minutes of the game to give Senegal the win that qualified them to the next stage.

Burkina Faso played a tactical game but found it very difficult controlling the ball and stringing their passes together, they gave away the ball too easy when then had an upper hand over Senegal but failed to utilize their chance until the second half when Senegal came into the game.

Playing with a win in their basket, Senegal needed either a win or draw to ensure they were safe to continue in the  tournament and they played towards their target and achieved it.

Senegal who looked wobbly in the first half began to string some nice passes together and started exploring the opened spaces in the Burkinabe defense. With a balanced midfield battle, Senegal started to use the flanks and long passes which was very difficult for Burkina Faso to deal with.

In the 85th minute, Senegal was awarded a penalty and Korka Fall the substitute took responsibility. The centre referee was called to the monitor after the penalty incident and after minutes of pondering over her decision, she pointed back to the spot.

Korka Fall with call slotted the into the left corner to give Senegal their second win of the tournament and their qualification to the next stage.

Burkina Faso who has been relentless during the entire game tried to fight back but were unable to draw blank as the centre referee called the game to a close.

Burkina Faso plays Uganda in their last group match for a redemption.
