In today’s FIFA matches in the Africa zone, the African vice-champion faced an unexpected challenge. Burkina Faso was held to a 1-1 draw by the Comoros (ranked 198th in the world) in Martigues.
The Coelacanthes took the lead in the 17th minute with a penalty converted by Charles Kaboré, but Burkina Faso managed to equalize in the second half. Despite finishing the game with 10 players following an expulsion in the 50th minute, the Comoros put up a strong performance against the Stallions.
Another match that ended in a 1-1 draw was the encounter between Mozambique and Angola. Paty scored to respond to Palanca Helder Pelembe’s goal.
