Important sector in this meeting: the midfielder.

Flops
A mixed performance for André Onana
The second half catches up with the first for the Cameroon goalkeeper.
André Onano, at fault on the opening of the Burkinabé score after a failed intervention in the air, resumed in the second act.
He first saved his family on a free kick from Traoré (47th) and then at the end of his line against Guira (53rd).
In lack of playing time, Onana found her bearings in the most beautiful way with success.
