Burkina Faso held by Mauritania at half-time in 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier

Burkina Faso and Mauritania were goalless at half-time in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match at the Stade du 4-Aout in Ouagadougou on Friday, 13 November 2026.

The Etalons created several opportunities during the opening 45 minutes but could not find a way through the Mauritanian defence. Despite their attacking efforts, Amir Abdou’s side were unable to break the deadlock.

Burkina Faso must now improve their finishing after the interval if they are to claim all three points. The result remains undecided heading into the second half of this third-round qualifier.
