The semi-final clash between Burkina Faso and Ghana in the CAN 2013 is anticipated as a significant encounter, with both teams vying for a spot in the tournament’s final. Burkina Faso, making their first semi-final appearance in 15 years, has showcased mental strength and a new generation of talented players, including Bakary Koné, Charles Kaboré, and Jonathan Pitroipa.
Charles Kaboré, who has been promoted to captain during the tournament, emphasized the maturity and improvement of the Burkinabe selection. The Belgian coach Paul Put and his deputy Frédéric Renotte have placed their trust in the core players like Baky Koné, Charles Kaboré, and Jonathan Pitroipa.
On the other hand, Ghana, the first team to qualify for the semi-finals, secured their spot by defeating Cape Verde. Mubarak Wakaso, a 22-year-old player who rose to prominence during the tournament, played a pivotal role by scoring goals for Ghana. As the Black Stars face Burkina Faso, the question arises whether Wakaso Mubarak will continue his impressive performances and lead Ghana to the final. The semi-final match is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. local time.
