00:05So we are underway, match day two in Group F of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON, Central African Republic.
00:17Back in late 2024, the former international.
00:24Over the top they come, and that's just a little bit too much on it, but a nice idea.
00:32And to Doucet, and he's looking to play a forward to Tapsobo, instead is picked up by Zagre.
00:37Now to the right-hand side, Cabaret, room to deliver the cross, which he does.
00:43Up goes Chororé, a good punch away from Yufugan.
00:50Despite being 30 years of age now.
00:55And he's going to line it up and have a crack, and it's a really good effort as well.
00:58And Kofi had to be smart and turn it over, managed to keep it under, just dipping under the crossbar.
01:05And, well, either side of Kofi, and he may well have had a few problems.
01:11Excellent technique.
01:19And it goes, and when it was headed on, the accommodation of two players just popped it back up in
01:24the air.
01:25.
01:28Buddha flicked on.
01:31.
01:37Zagre working it onto his right.
01:39He was even though he favors his left.
01:41Another chance, Cabaret, still Cabaret into the middle.
01:44Players queuing up, and they're going to have another quarter
01:46Burkina prevents Cabaret from getting the ball across.
01:52And it had to be as well, and he recovered well there, Yapende,
01:55because here it looks as if Cabaret got in behind him,
01:58and then in Port Giga.
02:00Here's his football in Scotland with Glasgow Rangers.
02:05Traoré just lays it off,
02:06and he needs to possibly get back into the middle of the park,
02:10where Draogo into Doucet, who sizes it up on his foot, left foot,
02:15and straight, just touches it into Tapsoba.
02:21Spread of play, Cabaret.
02:25Well, a similar cross into a similar area, punched away by Ufagan,
02:29only as far as Kwasi Doucet,
02:32wanting to play it out to Cabaret rather than to Tapsoba.
02:41Buda, and still Buda,
02:44trying to get it into the area.
02:45Look at that, three players in white all around him.
02:47He's doing amazingly well as Saini Buda,
02:49because he's still got it into the middle, he comes.
02:51Not fully cleared.
02:53And the...
02:55Just over ten minutes to half-time.
02:58Buda.
03:01Forward, well, there was no offside thought.
03:06Just over.
03:10Well, Kofi was, just for a moment, a little bit of hesitation.
03:15And then he got on his bike, here's Koyalipu, striker goal, and...
03:21And again.
03:26Nicely forward, well, is this an opportunity?
03:29Swept over on the right-hand side, nice idea.
03:32Well, it was...
03:34Koyalipu was sent off in that second period against Mauritania on Thursday.
03:40Zagre into the middle.
03:42Ufagan with a really important clearance away, but it's not fully cleared.
03:46Into the middle it goes, Doucet swinging at it, can't get anything on it.
03:51Tapsoba in there as well.
03:52Out to Kowasi.
03:54And still Kowasi, and still Kowasi goes down, and the referee's got a...
04:00So Zagre with the delivery.
04:02Tapsoba, one of those who have come up from the back.
04:04Up he goes.
04:05And over the top he goes.
04:07Well, I think it was...
04:10Abdul Tapsoba.
04:12Unable to convert the acrobatics.
04:14Look, he got up so early.
04:18Did Tapsoba.
04:20And a great deal for Lucina.
04:24Well, Kenny Capa, Bright, first half, with his first goal.
04:28Up steps that great.
04:29Oof.
04:30Just over, and you can see from his reaction how close he fought.
04:34That is in this half.
04:38Just, just catching.
04:42Kowasi.
04:43Well, that's enough for half-time, and it is still goalless.
04:48The break between Central African Republic and Burkina Faso
04:52as both these sides play their second game in Group F.
04:56Mauritania, the Tabletoppers, meet Benito.
05:03So we are back underway.
05:06Central African Republic kicking us off.
05:11And looking to add Burkina Faso to their scalps in qualifying over the years.
05:18Not that there have been too many of them.
05:21There was a very famous victory over Egypt.
05:25in 2012 in qualifying for the 2013 African.
05:31By the Central Africans.
05:33They've got some defending to do.
05:36And present into the middle it goes.
05:38That's nice!
05:38And just unable to gathering.
05:41The man who got the goal against Benin.
05:45Well, just...
05:48Who knocked out the Central Africans to make it to the finals themselves in 2013.
05:55And when they did so, they got to the finals.
05:57Strike a goal.
05:58Nicely effort.
05:59Oh, terrific run.
06:03To turn that away.
06:05To turn that away.
06:07Went to the Afghan.
06:08Did Nasser-Chiigha never get off the bench.
06:14Serie A experience with the delivery.
06:17And again, it doesn't be the first man.
06:21Koyalipu.
06:24I'm not entirely sure.
06:27Launce in France, he is the main goal threat for the Central Africans.
06:32Here he is, three goals in all and two of them in his last two games.
06:36They're in behind, can they make this count?
06:39Well, they can't because it's turned behind by Burkina Faso.
06:45Doucet.
06:48Where Drago, nice switch of play looking for Cabaret.
06:54Yeppende, Yeppende, only as far as Cabaret.
06:57Will this be dangerous?
06:58All the way through across the...
07:02So Sambia with the delivery for the Central Africans.
07:07Bend on it, Tapsoba heads away.
07:10Solle picks up, still Solle.
07:12And Solle strikes, and this will possibly fall for Jim having read it.
07:18Anticipated it.
07:20Where Drago, is that great?
07:23Troye just sniffing, Burkina Faso in behind.
07:26And Burkina Faso in front.
07:30On the hour, and it's the substitute who has just come on.
07:34Abubakar Kamara, the 19-year-old.
07:38What a way to make your mark.
07:42And what a time to find the back of the net as well.
07:49Well, he took that like a veteran, the 19-year-old.
07:54And you can see the smile on his face as well.
07:59Herve Coffey amongst those leading.
08:05And here it is, Zagre picking it up on the turn, and did well to find Kamara, who did well
08:11to dig it out from under his feet.
08:16Nice pass, and a really composed finish for his first ever goal.
08:34Deep delivery, far too deep and far too far forward.
08:40Nifaso to bolster the numbers at the back line.
08:45Up it goes, and up goes Coffey.
09:02That's a better-looking cross, and Yufek-An again to it.
09:05Cabaret picks up the loose ball.
09:08To the byline, he goes again.
09:10And he hits it too fast.
09:12Again, once more, Yufek-An.
09:15And back to Cabaret, strike a goal from him, and the total deflection takes it behind.
09:19A very good time to start.
09:24Up goes Tapsoba, back into the middle.
09:26They're queuing up, but they can't get a decisive touch in this end.
09:29Central African Republic clear away.
09:33Tapsoba again.
09:35Taking on the chest mile on his knees.
09:37Does really well to hold onto it.
09:38Strike a goal, and just flashed past the post.
09:40And that was better, far better.
09:43And the brightest involvement from Elouat.
09:45Does really well to hold onto the ball.
09:55Kwasi looking for Cabaret, here he is.
09:58Couldn't get over it.
10:00And it stays 1-0 to...
10:07Yang Gao.
10:13Koyalipo battling, really doing well here as well.
10:17Hungry for the points, and all, that could have been it.
10:20Just needed a little flick to divert.
10:23Jimé.
10:25And Yeppende picks up inside to Jimé.
10:32Got to get it into the area if they can.
10:34Well, he's got it back unconventionally.
10:36still he goes Jimmy, into the middle and deflected off Giga, into Kofi, it's well defended
10:44and the eyes now look towards the central official because we're in the sixth minute
10:52and that is it, time is up, the Burkina Faso have their first victory in Group F of Total
10:59Energy's Africa Cup of the Nations 2027 qualifying and for the time being it propels them to the top of
11:07the table, ahead of Mauritania facing Benid in both those sides, second game tomorrow,
11:14Abu Bakr, the hero, there he is, 19 years of age.
