00:00You're watching Beansports.
00:07As we get underway here at the Granstad de Marrakech.
00:11It's the last 16, Cote d'Ivoire, the defending champions up against Burkina Faso,
00:17who are making their third appearance in the last 16.
00:24They reached the stage of the tournament last time out,
00:28and that is where they bowed out last time out as well.
00:33So they want to go one better.
00:36Best ever outing for Burkina Faso at the Nations Cup was back in 2013
00:43when they lost in the final at Taka City in Johannesburg to the Super Eagles of Nigeria
00:49that were coasted at the time by the late, great Stephen Keshe,
00:53who joined an illustrious list of coaches to win the Nations Cup as player and coach.
01:01Immediately, it is the men in orange on attack.
01:04Cote d'Ivoire, Yann Thiamant, really yet to set the stage on fire.
01:10He's been happy to play a supporting role.
01:13There's a lot of spotlights on this young man coming into the tournament just with so much expected of him, 19 years old.
01:21But the limelight from a Cote d'Ivoire point of view has been stolen by the Manchester United attacker.
01:26Amad Diallo, who has helped himself to goals in each of his appearances at the tournament.
01:39Two out of three, in fact, of the matches that he's played.
01:4363-year-old has been in charge since March last year.
01:47In his latest spell leading the national team.
01:50The ball whipped in.
01:55Oh, a mistake here.
01:56Could allow Burkina Faso at all.
01:59Just didn't get the right pass there.
02:01But they still got possession here.
02:03And a shot from Ranger.
02:05Is gobbled up by Yahia Fofana.
02:09In the dog.
02:10Absolutely.
02:12I think the game has really started very well.
02:14Ivory Coast as usual wants to go on the flanks where they have Yann and Amad.
02:19But it looks like Burkina Faso have blocked the medal and they want to rely on counter-attacks.
02:26It's searching the ball down the right hand side.
02:35Both players had eyes for the ball.
02:37Reference is going to play on Jumann.
02:39Showing slick feet.
02:40Amad could be in here.
02:42Cruel shall challenge but it's an illegal one.
02:45And the referee.
02:48Free kick was enough here.
02:52Amad Diallo.
02:53Finding a little bit of space.
02:55Yeah.
02:56Quite clearly.
02:57As I said he's lucky.
03:00Maybe the referee taking a lenient view.
03:03It's the first challenge of the game.
03:05Won't whip out a card yet.
03:07That's Adamo Nagalo of PSV.
03:15Chances created.
03:25A facet was a full balance of 2.
03:26Two.
03:27One.
03:28Two.
03:29Two.
03:30Two.
03:31Three.
03:32One.
03:33Two.
03:34One.
03:35Two.
03:36One.
03:37Two.
03:38Four.
03:39Two.
03:40Three.
03:41One.
03:42One.
03:43One.
03:44Two.
03:45Two.
03:48One.
03:49One.
03:50here again i'm taking his man on did the keeper get attached signal is for a goal kick i mean what
03:58can you say about amad this kind of place you you don't allow them to go one viewer with your
04:04defenders and they will punish you and that is exactly what they have done in this 10 minutes
04:09in the game that's the man who's just been booked nagalo knows that he's gonna have to be very
04:18careful with his challenges and very precise if he's to avoid pick eight at six chances the most
04:26of any of the burkina faso players this is a duet it's a very impressive tournament his first
04:43after the cup of nations tournament
04:47boy played in the own just eludes a fantasy
04:54he was in there again he has a knack for making those late runs into the box and it's so dangerous
05:00when it does so here's armad combining with the duet cassie you can see what the intention was
05:09from the captain the top left hand corner i mean what can you say about kestia anytime he starts
05:15accelerating and go inside the box he looks so dangerous and that is exactly what he
05:19has started doing i think the combination of duet and ahmad have been very
05:24great great pass to pick out uh kissy a young demand and it threw it through to kissy again danger not gone
05:46ahmad he's done it again it's turning out to be the armadialo show at afghan 2025
05:57the burkina players are complaining about something no doubt fear will have a look
06:12but for now the defending champions celebrate
06:23there is indeed a var check going on what did you pick out that could have been wrong with that goal
06:32but i think they they are complaining that guessin was in the position that he he showed one of
06:41their players like this one he showed one of the players to fall down that's why ahmed got an
06:45opportunity and advantage to score so they are complaining about their foul on the defender from
06:51against i guess i see i guess with uh a body check on uh nagalo yeah i think he might have an argument
07:02but i mean is it's contact sports you should be very strong that is the other argument you could be
07:07forward but what a finish that is so calm ice in his veins in that situation amatiallo is he to be denied
07:18he gets another goal i mean this boy you cannot blame the referee you cannot blame anyone the defender
07:31went down easily failed to reach the quarterfinals of the nation's cap it's not a great record for the
07:38defending champions for the defending champions this is only the second time they've come out of a group
07:52as defending champions in now it's opening up in front of him engages your man to his left
07:59half an hour gone but tivoire the defending champions with the lead another teasing ball looking for
08:08guessin ahmad i kissy a ahmad again
08:16it's your mind it's your mind i mean what can you say about this team they have too much quality from
08:23their midfoot to the attacking options and whoever have the wall knows what you have to do with the ball
08:31and they are creating a lot of chances i'm playing good football only two
08:37looking for runners up front was pushed to you playing it with uh jackity
08:56how much to it to on the overlap ahmad goes on his own guess here let's it run
09:05two months finally gets on the score sheet with a bit of half of a deflection it's two
09:16i mean just just watch and see what frank is it did
09:20frank is there was very instrumental when he comes to this goal
09:30he allowed the ball beautifully goes straight to diamond and he beautifully damaged the goalkeeper
09:38it was let's see how big a deflection it took let's take a look
09:43great run from ahmad no no deflection at all just bent it beautifully
09:53oh it's a wonderful strike wonderfully work goal and yanti amand is up off the mark at the nation's cup
10:02gets his first at the africa cup of nations and what a well work goal that was
10:15massive credit to the skipper for some clever thinking there
10:21anytime frank as they start going inside the box anytime he wants to play every time he's
10:26hungry for both he creates spaces for the strikers and it looked like the brookina base are distracted now
10:37can they pull one back before the break if yo that was close comes up the upright
10:46gave it everything there they did as well to create the space for the shot i think
10:51before we were expecting that he would do a cut back
10:55kissy has done great work again just your thoughts then on that let's so we'll get this juman
11:06look at that how they counter press and win the ball back so quickly
11:15there's an african expression that says when the elephants fight it's the ground that suffers
11:20there's there's no elephants fighting here the elephants are on a rampage here
11:26it's a dangerous ball in there but that's uh as we get into stoppage time at the end of the first half
11:34signal from a fourth official is for minimum three minutes back of the head there but that's it
11:40the referee mohammed eight massoud knows this first half to an end
11:50and at the end of the first 45 minutes in we've got a clear favorite to advance to the next round
11:59ivory co is doing a great job they're winning two nils to burkina faso time for a quick break and we're
12:04coming back with the express have some show don't move something about trial day in the first 45 minutes
12:12it's time for the second half ladies and gentlemen you're watching mean sports don't move
12:21get back us get us back underway if you've just joined us they are in their famous orange strip
12:28part of what you want makina in white now attacking the goals to right uh to the right of your picture
12:35well emmanuel padu the black stars a legend is alongside me tonight but do you uh mentioned that
12:45something needed to change drastically for if makina faso had to get back into this game they've made two
12:52changes now and i get your thoughts on the changes that have made and what needs to be different in
12:56this second half let's have a look at this attack first could be a chance to fire one in syria kairi
13:03not a bad effort at all there from the freiburg for cote voir here yet another attacking platform
13:1110 minutes into the game a third goal here and it would be extremely difficult to see a way back into
13:22this one for the stallions even as it is it's already looking difficult as uh
13:32the ball there
13:36would it be ahmad with his left to float something in or will german fancy a cracker go
13:43so it's quite some way out but uh we can it can be hit from there
13:56it's your man with the ball in and a flick from duet
13:58shall i do it
14:05only
14:07but that could the ivorian defense hold strong
14:28oh great save from forfana great reaction save there no the field is finishing the big giant
14:43oh he's such a slick player whereas uh
14:48very impressive christ inow showing that he's still switched on even though he hasn't had a great deal to
14:55do in this game he's building on holidays today
15:03he now tops his way away from it
15:12the player who came off the bench pushing pushing but still they are not creating any chances
15:17so looking to press high up
15:22good position back here
15:2825 minutes remaining still cote d'ivoire
15:32looking comes to be in control
15:36as a free kick on the edge of a box it's given against angari
15:40and there's a foul on joji minungu
15:48i think sangari got the office for the player that's argument that he's making
15:54minungu who was born in
15:58cote d'ivoire
16:01that's why you have him there
16:03it's your mind with a square ball in
16:06and guess guess i should have done better
16:12excellent work looking to turn provider
16:15yanti omand
16:18having scored they can't hold the ball
16:22they can't pass the ball very well and they are struggling the midfoot of now kese
16:26i'm not your mind and sangar
16:31look the attempts on goal they've been 17 to 6
16:36but in terms of shots on target incredibly it's even two a piece
16:42the big difference being that the two on target
16:46as a chance for kessier i get for cote d'ivoire for the goals such a strong player always in the in the
16:54post always in good position take a look at
17:00the kida looking to
17:03launch an attack here this is nice combination yeah
17:07still alive
17:09still hesitated at the last moment there when you
17:12seem to have a change of heart at first wanted to strike it first time
17:15but in our is bringing cote d'ivoire up here now there's numbers here four and three here
17:20uh ah
17:22oh wonderful save for fun taking him
17:28joint on four the top of the spore starts with uh brahim diaz great work again from me now and
17:39oh stretch that leg out at the last moment did uh have coffee
17:44have coffee to deny ahmed but it's a corner
18:03and that's it
18:04see what uh making a fossil can do can they set up a bit of a grandstand finish here if they can get
18:14a goal they're in trouble now they've got some defending to do basuma naturi still going basuma naturi
18:22and that is just a cherry on top caps off an absolutely stunning display
18:36by the defending champions
18:57one quality out another quality in they were having some beautiful football and a counter attack listen
19:04and you have pace he's very tricky and it's one against four the defender top stop cannot come
19:10and he was trying to delay but the player was intelligent to put the ball on the first four
19:15of the goalkeeper absolutely beauty keeper didn't expect the shot there runs away from
19:20blatitura couldn't keep up with a run in fact they they're looking decidedly tired are the the stallions
19:27they've been run to the ground have a stallions and mx5 has engineered a master class yeah this evening take a bow
19:42that makes five side setting up at a meeting with egypt
19:58and here comes more problems diakite shoots that would have been special
20:06it should have been very calm it was three against two
20:14there it is referee mahmoud ismail confirms it it's a passage to the last eight
