CAN 2025 : l’Algérie fait tomber le Burkina Faso (1-0) et prend le contrôle du Groupe E

Algeria made a significant statement this Sunday in the second round of Group E matches at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, defeating Burkina Faso 1-0 . In a highly anticipated clash between two contenders for qualification, the Fennecs made the difference at the crucial moment to secure three valuable points.

The turning point of the match came in the first half. Following a foul in the Burkina Faso penalty area, the referee awarded Algeria a penalty. Riyad Mahrez , captain and key player for the Fennecs, calmly converted the penalty, scoring the only goal of the game.

After conceding the opening goal, Burkina Faso tried to respond by launching numerous attacks and increasing the intensity of their play. The Stallions created several promising opportunities, but were thwarted by a solid and well-organized Algerian defense, determined to protect its lead.

The match was also marked by high physical commitment, intense duels in midfield, and several crucial saves, particularly from Burkina Faso, which prevented a heavier defeat. Despite the pressure at the end of the match, Algeria demonstrated composure to maintain their narrow lead until the final whistle.

Thanks to this 1-0 victory, Algeria secured their second consecutive win and are ideally positioned in the race to qualify for the round of 16. Defeated but still in contention, Burkina Faso must absolutely bounce back in their next match in a Group E that is more competitive than ever.
