00:12We are almost ready here in Ouagadougou at the 4th of October, apologies, the 4th of August stadium.
00:21Omar Ahtan is going to get us underway shortly and away we go.
00:25Oh, Burkina Faso then, kicking from left to right for the 1st half.
00:40Already, both sides vie for control in this game.
00:53Giga Gabou is back, and again the ball into space, Issa Kapure.
00:58Good run from the right back, and already the crowd responding well.
01:08In it goes, towards the back post.
01:11It's met nicely and comes back across goal, no one there to meet it.
01:14Little bit of space now.
01:16The shot get away, it's chipped back into the box, knocked down.
01:22And safely into the hands.
01:25Defending national team, a little bit of space now to run into.
01:30The referee says penalty.
01:3717 minutes in, and Burkina Faso are awarded a penalty.
01:43Handball adjudged by referee Omar Ahtan.
01:48To go 1-0 up in one speed.
01:52A challenged game so far.
01:54The arm is outstretched.
01:58From the spot kick.
02:01Dispatched with ease.
02:06Burkina Faso take the lead.
02:08It's La Sina Traore who converts from the spot.
02:14And a shaky start to the game from both sides.
02:17Yields a goal.
02:20Still number 18 junior on Ahtan.
02:23Complains about the yellow card.
02:28Really nice penalty from La Sina Traore.
02:36Plays his football.
02:38For Shakhtar Donetsk.
02:43The striker.
02:44Make no mistake about that.
02:47Goalkeeper went the right way.
02:52Here come Benin now.
02:54Trying to respond in some way.
02:56Nicely held up.
02:57A bit of space to work into here.
02:59Pulled back.
03:00There's the strike.
03:01Never going to really test the goalkeeper.
03:04Benin have put up a good fight so far.
03:06Cobore.
03:07Cobore.
03:07Great ball.
03:09Flashed across.
03:11The face of goal.
03:13Well kept.
03:14Good by Kowasi.
03:16Cobore again is in acres of space.
03:18Able to move forwards.
03:20Nice work.
03:21And the Wrexham fullback is away here.
03:25Cut out.
03:26By Tiani.
03:30It will be a corner kick.
03:32For the host.
03:34East Africa apologies.
03:36For almost 30 years.
03:37Lovely turn of pace there.
03:41The referee.
03:43The referee.
03:50Watching well as Benugu try to go through.
03:53Wind in their sails.
03:55That's the ball.
03:57Issa Cobore.
03:58That's time.
04:01Well cut out though.
04:03By Captain Dalme.
04:09Buda.
04:10Buda strikes.
04:13Calls a very good save.
04:15From Danicini.
04:16That's the first real shot on goal we've seen in this game.
04:20A nice left-footed strike.
04:24From Ossini Buda.
04:27Completely content.
04:31Count down the minutes till half-time.
04:35Latched on to nearly there.
04:38The ball sprang loose again.
04:40There's space on this side.
04:41Husseini Buda.
04:42Buda!
04:50And a bit of a chaotic clearance following it.
04:55Kio Faso still struck towards goal.
05:00Goalkeeper.
05:00Rightly.
05:01Is up after they struggled to take them.
05:05At half-time it is.
05:07The Kio Faso one.
05:08Benin nil.
05:16And we are underway.
05:17Second half to action.
05:18Starting now.
05:21Which side.
05:22Will come out on top in the next 45 minutes.
05:32Ossini.
05:34Information.
05:36Cooler.
05:39He's on the line.
05:40Town sam.
05:47Well.
05:48They didn't have it beaten Burkina Faso in their last 4 meetings.
05:54Stats head-to-head firmly in favor of the hosts as they come forwards down. The ball in, nearly fell.
06:02Messina Traore picks up and plays a nice ball out to Kabore. Corner kick.
06:10Three-week international break gives teams a new opportunity to try and gel.
06:15The international side gets so much less time together than the club side, so it's an important part.
06:20But Benin are away here. Tosin lays it into space. Is there a chance on here?
06:25What a touch back! And snatched at it. So much time.
06:35Hassani it was coming in. Lovely back hill from Tosin.
06:41And by far one of the best chance of the game. He does slip. It's unlucky.
06:46But he also had...
06:50From Buda. It was a nice try.
06:58However, Amir Abdu is not impressed, but a chance for Benin again!
07:02A light hand! Still a light hand!
07:07And again, Benin are unable to make their chances pay.
07:11Uru is still going here.
07:16A chance!
07:19Benin are getting closer!
07:34That's a lovely ball.
07:36Releases toss in into a little bit of space.
07:40Lovely stab through.
07:42Penalty kick!
07:46Benin have a penalty.
07:49After a serious period of pressure from them.
07:56The referee thought about it for a second and then pointed at the spot.
08:01Uru up from the back.
08:05Caught by the trailing leg of Minugu.
08:11And Benin absolutely deserve that.
08:19A chance for them to go level.
08:23What a moment this would be for them.
08:31It will be Tosin.
08:33The number 10.
08:36The main striker in the line-up today.
08:40Paul Benin.
08:41And up against him in goal.
08:43It will be Kofi-Hervé.
08:50Huge moment in this game.
08:53Tosin takes his time.
08:54And starts his run-up.
09:03It's Tosin.
09:06It's in!
09:08Almost the exact same spot.
09:10As Traore scored.
09:11Here's in the first half.
09:12And Benin have equalized.
09:17Thoroughly deserved.
09:19They've come out.
09:21And really, really come for it in the second half.
09:24And they've been rewarded for those efforts.
09:30One-all.
09:33Again, the goalkeeper went the right way.
09:35Same as in the first half.
09:37And again, the striker found the side netting.
09:42A really well-taken penalty.
09:44A really well-taken penalty.
09:50And Ayagen Tosin of FC Lorient in France.
09:57Equalizes.
10:00And now left.
10:01Full stoppage time.
10:03And it is Junior Lorient.
10:04And it's a really nice delivery.
10:07And it nearly fell at the back post.
10:11There are a number of players.
10:20As the drums and the trumpets serenade our two sides.
10:28What a night of entertainment.
10:38Kuwassi to take.
10:40Kuwassi to take.
10:41Is this the moment?
10:42Kuwassi sends it in.
10:46Comes back down.
10:47Goalkeeper drops it.
10:49The referee blew his whistle earlier.
10:56Full time then.
10:58In Wagadougou.
11:01One-all.
11:03Both sides will leave with something.
11:05For Benin.
11:06It's probably the better result.
11:08Burkina Faso faded.
11:09For Benin.
11:10And Maverick redo.
11:11Tseng need .
11:15Okay.
