AFCON 2015: If Burkina Faso must make the knock-out stage

Source: Google
As it stands in Group A of the AFCON 2015, Burkinafaso occupy the last place in the group after their second match against the host Equatorial Guinea ended in a stalemate (0-0).

Beaten by Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang led Gabon by two goals to nil in the opening game last Saturday, and picking their first point puts the Burkinabes in a battle for a place in the knock-out stage.

Alain Traore has been the best man so far, hitting the woodwork a number of times in both matches while the likes of Bance and AFCON 2014 Best player Jonathan Pritoipa are yet to have their own highlights.

If the 2013 AFCON runner-up must qualify for the knock-out stage, they must beat Congo and hope that Gabon get the better of Equatorial Guinea.
