Burkina Faso head coach rues missed opportunity to defeat Tunisia
Burkina Faso head coach Hubert Velud said his side had a greater chance of winning but let it slide in the last minute against Algeria in their second game of the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations Côte d’Ivoire 2023.
The Stallions conceded a late goal to draw with Algeria at the Stade de la Paix in Bouake on Saturday afternoon.
Velud praised his side for their intensity and blamed the late equalizer for lack of concentration, hoping they would learn from it.
“We had a perfect game. We came close to winning but regret losing concentration for conceding at the last minute. it was a very beautiful game. I’m satisfied. We did what we wanted to do. Very efficient, but we could have taken things more seriously in the last minutes. We need to work on the little details, and then we will return better,” he said after the game.
With 4 points, Burkina Faso is still on top of Group D and will play Angola in their last group game at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium stadium in Yamoussoukro on Tuesday, 23 January.
