The second day of group matches at the 2014 African Nations Championship kicked off with Group A, featuring a 1-1 draw between Africa and Mali, while Nigeria showcased their prowess with a 4-2 victory against Mozambique. Group B takes the spotlight this Thursday, featuring a crucial clash between Burkina Faso and Morocco.
This match holds significant importance, especially for the Stallions, who suffered a 2-1 defeat in their opening game against Uganda. Brama Traoré’s squad is determined to bounce back to avoid the risk of an early exit back to Ouagadougou. The Burkinabés, as noted by their coach, lacked aggression in their match against the Cranes and are keen to rectify this against Morocco.
Morocco, too, faced disappointment in their opening game against Zimbabwe, despite boasting a formidable lineup from Raja Casablanca. The clash between Burkina Faso and Morocco promises to be intense as both teams seek redemption and crucial points in the group stage.
Simultaneously, Uganda will face off against Zimbabwe in the other group match, presenting an opportunity for the Cranes to potentially secure their spot in the quarter-finals.
Fixture Schedule:
- Uganda vs. Zimbabwe, 3 p.m.
- Burkina Faso vs. Morocco, 6 p.m.
