2015 AFRICA CUP - GROUP A - DAY 05 - Equatorial Guinea vs Burkina Faso 0:0

Africa Cup 2015 GROUP A

 

Burkina Faso are held by Equatorial Guinea in the first goalless draw of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations. 

Burkina Faso were twice denied by the woodwork as they were held by Equatorial Guinea in the first goalless draw of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

Alain Traore curled a free-kick against the post on 19 minutes, and 20 minutes later his volley was tipped on to the same upright by keeper Didier Ovono.

The Burkinabe also came close after the break when Jonathan Pitroipa should have converted a far-post cross.

Doualla missed Equatorial's clearest scoring chance when he blazed over.

Having suffered a surprise defeat to Gabon in their opening match, 2013 runners-up Burkina Faso were eager to produce a better display against the tournament hosts in their second Group A game.

And the Stallions carved out the best chances throughout, but a combination of bad luck and woeful finishing has left their tournament fate out of their hands.

Equatorial Guinea might consider themselves fortunate to have collected their second draw from two games, although they had opportunities of their own to have taken all three points.
