Guinea 1- Burkina Faso 2

Burkina Faso sealed their entry to the African Cup of Nations in Angola next year by defeating Guinea 2-1 this weekend.

Over the last couple of months, Burkina Faso lost their chance to seize the group's World Cup place through their two defeats by the group's heavyweights, Ivory Coast, including a 5-0 thumping in Abijan in September. Ivory Coast are reckoned by many to be Africa's best chance at the World Cup in South Africa 2010.

Burkina Faso have improved over recent years and dominated the match against Guinea. They are second in the group having won all their other matches, but they still seem to have a way to go to break into Africa's top tier. The game was played in Ghana due to political problems and turmoil in Conakry.

Allez les Etalons!
