The first leg of the decisive qualifying match for the 2014 World Cup between Algeria and Burkina Faso was thrilling! Burkina Faso and Algeria showcased an intense match, contributing to a total of 5 goals, with the Stallions securing a 3-2 victory.
Goals from Pitroipa, Djakaridja Koné, and Aristide Bancé secured the win for Burkina Faso, while Feghouli and Medjani, with their contributions, offered hope to the Fennecs.
This exciting encounter solidifies Burkina Faso’s status as one of the in-form African teams. The team had previously reached the final of the last CAN in February but fell short against Nigeria with a 0-1 score.
On the other hand, Algeria remains determined to secure a spot in the upcoming World Cup in Brazil and will be eager to turn the tide in the return leg.
