00:00.
00:06Algeria go in search of a place in the knockouts just as their opponents.
00:12Line up for the Algerians as the rain that was sheeting down has stopped.
00:17Which just about sums up the weather here in Morocco during this Africa Cup of Nations so far.
00:21Riyad Mahrez wearing gloves that's indicating the temperature.
00:26It's hugely different from the tournaments that we're so used to which are often played in debilitating heat.
00:31Striker goal coming in early.
00:33The first shot of the game from Ibrahim Maza.
00:36Just one thought in his mind as he picked it up this youngster.
00:41He also became the nation's youngest ever scorer at the tournament just 20 years and 30 days of age.
00:51The time to get your first ever goal for your country.
00:54Mohamed Amura who was outstanding that day.
00:56When Algeria lifted the trophy in Egypt six years ago.
00:59To Budawi.
01:01Ait Nouri.
01:04That nicely worked and that's possibly a penalty.
01:08Not possibly.
01:09It is a penalty.
01:11He had a look.
01:13The Ghanaian official.
01:14He thought about it.
01:16And he pointed to the spots.
01:18And after some good play down the left hand side.
01:21Controlled.
01:22Measured.
01:23Between Budawi and Ait Nouri.
01:252025 Africa Cup of Nations.
01:29Mahrez up against Kofi.
01:31Takes his time.
01:32And smooth as you like from Riyad Mahrez.
01:44As he sends Kofi the wrong way to give Algeria the lead.
01:48Riyad Mahrez.
01:49Riyad Mahrez.
01:50A great of Algerian football.
01:51Watching on or not as he had to look down because he couldn't handle it as the flares
01:56are lit inside the Melay El Hasan Stadium.
02:00Budawi who was just muscled off it by a little nudge from Wedraogo.
02:04Jago.
02:05Jago.
02:06Traore.
02:07We've yet to see the best of the Quino Faso skipper back into Jago.
02:11Now he tried the back heel.
02:13Didn't come off.
02:14And Algeria can clear.
02:15Mazza.
02:16Now Mazza just a little bit frustrated as he couldn't make his way past Jago and just pulled
02:25him back.
02:27Hence the free kick going the stallion's way.
02:32Cabaret.
02:35That's well played on Bessa Bayini.
02:38And look at that pass as well into Buneja.
02:41He needs support because he's very much on his own.
02:45Instantly looking for Mazza.
02:47Mazza.
02:48Did he think about the first time shot?
02:50He's got one away.
02:51Fully blocked.
02:52Amura on the strike.
02:53And Amura cannot keep it down.
02:55Oh, Mohamed Amura.
02:57He's a danger man for Algeria.
03:00Algeria.
03:01He got his strike away.
03:02Mazza.
03:03Can he do better with the throw?
03:06Well, he decides to leave it to Jago.
03:10Jago plays this in.
03:16That is turned behind by Bessa Bayini for a corner.
03:26Tapsoba's come up from the back.
03:29He headed in.
03:31Here's the Sudanese.
03:34An open play, admittedly.
03:36Dio as well will use his height.
03:40And this time the delivery is good.
03:43And it's against the post.
03:46Well, how close was that from Bakina Faso?
03:48Back in it goes.
03:49Little deflection.
03:50It's a corner again.
03:51There's the header.
03:52Look at that.
03:54Crucial block from Mazza.
03:57To the side of the neck.
04:01Didn't know too much about it.
04:03And then Cabaret.
04:05Possibly Zidane have it covered.
04:09This angle should show us.
04:11This will be asking more serious questions of the Algerian backline.
04:27Goes deep on this occasion.
04:30Algerians, I'm sure, will be livid or have a thing or two to say if this goes in.
04:41Senghari will deliver.
04:43Mares will flick away.
04:49Adrogo will go home.
04:56Kofi. Tapsoba needs the flick.
04:58Two players inside the area.
05:00Is this the moment for Bakina Faso?
05:02It isn't.
05:03And they can break here, Algeria.
05:05It's four on three.
05:07Mares, Mazza inside him.
05:09Amura to his left.
05:10Buneja to his right.
05:11It's into Amura.
05:12Vital save from Hervé Kofi.
05:14We're not going to see it.
05:17They choose not to bled into the area.
05:22Aydnuri.
05:23And there it is.
05:26The half-time whistle blows.
05:28An eventful first period.
05:31Senghari gets us underweight.
05:38It should be fascinating to see how this game plays out as it stands.
05:53Should it stay like this, Algeria.
05:56Senghari back out to Minungu.
06:01Only two in the middle now.
06:03And look at that.
06:04A wall of four.
06:05And Belayid.
06:07Another intervention with his head.
06:09Dayo.
06:10Into Chaurori.
06:11Trying to work it onto his favoured left.
06:13Minungu.
06:14There's space on the left-hand side for Kwasif.
06:16He had found him instead.
06:17He went for goal.
06:18His haunch is saying.
06:19Play it to me.
06:20This is the angle.
06:22Let's just show us.
06:23The right of your screen.
06:24That's where he could have played him in.
06:26He said it just dribbled past.
06:29Luka Zidane's left-hand post.
06:33Space on the left-hand side for Buneja.
06:36Amura the man in the middle.
06:38And that's really well played by Iago.
06:41And Senghari.
06:43Trying to feed it in to Dango.
06:47And Benasair doing what he does.
06:5028-year-old just constantly closing down.
06:55Well, it's time to throw on some firepower.
06:59And I've seen at Chaurori.
07:02But perhaps, surprisingly, they are...
07:05It's a straight swap up top.
07:07A little bit of faith in the side from...
07:10Brahma Chaurori.
07:12One of the few African coaches in charge of his own nation at this tournament.
07:17And Chaurori, 24 years of age.
07:21He's for Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine.
07:26He's on.
07:27But Algeria in behind.
07:29And Maza cannot profit.
07:32Well, superbly played in.
07:35The goal at his mercy.
07:38An opportunity for his second of the tournament.
07:41Algeria's second of the day.
07:43And he just couldn't profit.
07:46Well, you have to go back to 2013 for the last side.
08:00One of these, for the last time, one of these sides beat the other.
08:05And that was when Algeria beat Burkina Faso on home soil just by a goal to nil.
08:10Zidane gathering.
08:12Gathering.
08:13Gathering well.
08:14Commanding his area too.
08:15Choses to kick from the floor again.
08:16Dunejo.
08:17And a lot of time.
08:18Took it down nicely.
08:19Dunejo goes down under the challenge.
08:20Dunejo.
08:21Dunejo goes down under the his trionics to give every indication of what he felt about that.
08:31Nice chest control from.
08:32Dunejo was aware that he was in a little bit of space.
08:36Buneja with the histrionics to give every indication of what he felt about that.
08:45Nice chest control from.
08:47Buneja was aware that he was in a little bit of space.
08:54Still his frustrations go on.
08:56That's a deep ball in from Kouassi.
08:59In the battle of the two 18s, Benacer to Omura.
09:04Worked so hard Mohamed Omura.
09:07Doesn't just bring goals to the side.
09:11A real drive and determination.
09:14A real hunger to win.
09:19We respect everyone.
09:21We fear no one was what he said before the tournament.
09:23Algeria through here.
09:24Maza leading the charge into Buneja.
09:27Round the coffee he goes and he can see it back up to Maza.
09:30Takes his time.
09:32Here it is.
09:33Maza again onto his left.
09:35Coffee with the block.
09:36And then a foul in the area.
09:39Maza.
09:41Buneja.
09:41They combined.
09:42For a goal on match day one against Sudan.
09:46Took his time.
09:47Found him.
09:47Look at that love on the Maza.
09:48Highly, highly rated by his German club, Bayer Leverkusen, when they bought him from where Gerard will go.
09:58Amura breaks it up and then charges forward.
10:01Buneja to his left and he aims for the man based in Qatar.
10:07He's got a good record since the season so far.
10:10Six goals in ten games.
10:12And he's wriggling.
10:13Causing a few problems despite the men around him.
10:19Budawi.
10:19But Harley's in space on the right-hand side.
10:23If Mondi wants to find him, he plays it to him.
10:26Dinked into the back post.
10:27Budawi in space and Budawi.
10:31He's never scored for Algeria.
10:33You're not going to get too many better chances than that.
10:37Look at the space afforded to him by the Burkina Faso defence.
10:41And he could not guide his header.
10:45Target.
10:46That'd be one of the reasons why he has a big zero next to his name in the goals tally for his nation.
10:52Maza clipped by Traore.
10:54Free kick, Algeria.
11:03Thank you for that man.
11:06Just the one change so far.
11:11Ibrahama Traore.
11:16Benazet.
11:18Leading away from Sangare.
11:21Nomura.
11:23Maza dinks it in.
11:25To Buneja.
11:27Andaya away.
11:33Malaise ringing out from the Algerian supporters.
11:56Malaise ringing out from the Algerian supporters.
11:56Malaise.
12:04Malaise.
12:05Just a touch too heavy.
12:08And Mura brilliantly pressing and dispossessing again.
12:11Ainuri is in here.
12:12Ainuri strikes a goal.
12:13Kofri with the blocked corner.
12:15To Algeria.
12:17And the Burkina B goal stood firm.
12:21Ainuri just trying to squeeze it in the near post.
12:26He's never scored from Algeria.
12:31Some changes.
12:33Sangare.
12:34The central midfielder is off.
12:39Coming on is Syriac Iriye.
12:4320-year-old ringer based in Germany.
12:46With Freiburg in the Bundesliga.
12:48And also coming on, Saeedu Simpure.
12:53Places club football in Egypt.
12:55The 33-year-old.
12:57Well, he's come on for Steve Iago.
13:01Similar age, but far less time to play.
13:06Maza.
13:09Dispossessed.
13:09By Iriye, who's just come on.
13:13Iriye, who set up the Kino Faso's winning goal against the Equatorial Guinea.
13:26Dango.
13:27To really show us what he's about.
13:29Can he do so now?
13:30Driven into the box.
13:31And Bence Baini is there once again.
13:34To clear his lines and gets the applause from Mundi.
13:41They have been tight at the back, Algeria.
13:45And Bence Baini has been outstanding there.
13:48Really excellent.
13:4977th cap today.
13:59Nermi Bence Baini.
14:01He was a key man against Sudan.
14:04Led every player on the pitch for touches, passes, attempted, passes, completed.
14:10Today he's showing us his defensive side.
14:12Nice little flick from Traore.
14:15They try and play it back to him.
14:16And the Kino Faso still have it.
14:19Dango out to Mnungu.
14:21Mnungu with a striker goal.
14:22And that just hits the top of the net.
14:28And at least a striker goal.
14:30And Zidane had to be sure.
14:35And he's showing us what he's about, Mnungu.
14:39Built as well.
14:40Power there.
14:46Mnungu with the header.
14:55Udawi.
14:56Only one to aim at in the middle until Dango started going in there.
14:59Mnungu.
15:00There's a Birkinavi player down on the floor in the middle.
15:03It's going to be a corner to the Stallions.
15:07And still there's a player down.
15:08Well, Halley sticking to his task.
15:25Just getting to his feet.
15:26I think it was Irie the player down.
15:28Hekovic out of his area.
15:44Just barking instructions at his players as Kouassi goes deep.
15:50Headed back into the far post.
15:52Headed to a goal.
15:53And straight at Luka Zidane.
15:54And it was Lassina Trori who had the header.
16:08And the power.
16:14But at least forcing Zidane into some sort of action in the Algeria goal.
16:19Runeja unable to do so.
16:28Irie.
16:30The pressure for Mnungu.
16:33And then that's far too much on it.
16:35And Makina Faso will take this goal kick.
16:39Time fast running out.
16:41Now this will be the second game in three Afghan matches stretching back to the last tournament that they won't have scored.
16:54And that's after the Stallions had scored in their previous 16 games at the tournament.
17:03Four additional minutes.
17:05It's not long.
17:05Neither for Burkina Faso to find the goal that they've been craving.
17:14Or Algeria to hold on.
17:16Trori played it blind.
17:19And Belayid cleared his lines.
17:21Mnungu.
17:23Tap Soba.
17:25Lassina Trori back into Tap Soba.
17:27He can strike a goal.
17:28Tap Soba.
17:28And he just whistles that past the left-hand post from the Burkinabe centre-back.
17:36Swing with his right foot.
17:37Well, he only scored his first ever goal of the tournament last time out.
17:42And I don't think that's his forte, striking the ball from there.
17:46The Algerian fans, those you can hear.
17:56And surprisingly so.
17:58For a country that's neighbours in Morocco.
18:00That's good play from Iriye.
18:03Failed by a combination of Abdelhi and Aynouri.
18:06Referee just giving Bruneja a shove.
18:17And he would be well advised not to do so.
18:22Referee telling him to get on with it.
18:24And I'm sure his coaching crew
18:25don't have the same message.
18:32In it goes.
18:33Up into the air it goes as well.
18:37And that will bounce off and bounce behind for a corner.
18:42Yet again.
18:44So many times they've been in this position.
18:47Can anything change?
18:48Trori.
18:50Kouassi.
18:51Swings this in.
18:52Deep it goes.
18:54And it's a free header.
18:55And it's straight at Luka Zidane.
18:58It was Iriye who met it.
19:00And he managed to generate a little bit of power
19:04but not the placement he would have wanted.
19:11Two players down on the floor
19:12and that could well be a clash of heads
19:15and that's just only going to add time
19:16to the end of this game.
19:17Simpouré recently come on.
19:25And Shaibbe, he is a fellow substitute
19:29albeit for Algeria.
19:33Zidane watches on.
19:34He's about to watch his son secure a second clean sheet
19:40in his second appearance at Africa's greatest sporting event.
19:47I'm sure he'll be immensely proud
19:49and I'm sure he's going to be here
19:50as long as Algeria are as well.
19:53Zizou here with another of his sons as well
19:59and Luka Zidane's brother.
20:02There are four sons in all.
20:04All of them play football.
20:11Suffice to say that
20:12few of them have the talent that their father did.
20:14Well then, few do, although I do recall the
20:19former coach in Africa, Adel Amrouch,
20:24who's been around the block.
20:25He grew up with Zidane in the Marseille neighbourhood,
20:28used to play football with him.
20:31He would try and insist to me
20:33that Zidane's brother, elder brother,
20:36was actually the better player.
20:37He just didn't have the mentality.
20:40Make of that what you will.
20:44Buneja, if he can win this,
20:48he could be in, but he can't
20:49because Kouassi doesn't know what he needs to do.
20:53But beyond the four minutes,
20:55there might just be about a minute or so.
20:57No, there isn't,
20:57because despite the delay,
20:59the final whistle blows
21:01and Algeria have done it
21:03after failures
21:05of the last two tournaments,
21:07the 2019 African champions.
21:14.
21:16.
21:33.
