After the match, Bancé expressed his happiness with the success against Algeria. He acknowledged the challenges posed by a strong Algerian team and emphasized that the victory would instill great determination in the team for the return match. Bancé remains confident in Burkina Faso’s ability to qualify in Algeria, highlighting the belief in their capabilities.
