Burkina Faso vs Cameroon 05.02.2022
Burkina Faso’s fairy tale run once again came up short at the semifinal stage, as has happened before. They battled hard but they were no match for a clinical Senegalese outfit who eliminated them 3-1 with Liverpool star Mane running the show with a goal and an assist to his names
Hosts Cameroon, who many had tipped to go all the way, were stopped in their tracks by Egypt in their semifinal. After a goalless stalemate through the regulation period and extra time, the Indomitable Lions were left to rue their missed chances as they choked the penalty shootout, scoring just one of their four tries with Egypt scoring all three of their penalties to seal their ticket to the final much to the chagrin of the home supporters.
These two teams met up in the very first match of the tournament for Group A. Cameroon won it 2-1 thanks to two Aboubakar penalties. We fancy an open game here that should yield a few goals and corners
