It seems like Patrick Mboma, the former Cameroonian international striker and current RMC consultant, expressed his opinion on the qualification of the Burkina Faso national football team in a recent match. According to Mboma, it was a bit surprising to see either team in the semi-finals from the beginning of the competition.
He mentioned that the victory of Burkina Faso’s Stallions, led by Jonathan Pitroipa, against Adebayor and his team seemed logical. Mboma pointed out that Burkina Faso had more opportunities during the match, even though the outcome might have been different if Adebayor had converted his chance.
Mboma emphasized the importance of experience, suggesting that Burkina Faso, with a bit more experience, earned their place in the semi-finals. He acknowledged that it was still a surprise to see either team in this stage of the competition.
Looking ahead, the semi-finals were scheduled with Nigeria facing Mali and Ghana meeting Burkina Faso on the following Wednesday. It appears Mboma’s analysis considered the performance and opportunities in the match to explain Burkina Faso’s qualification.
