Burkina Faso fire-up after dumping out Zambia

Burkina Faso is hoping their elimination of Zambia will inspire them in Sunday’s quarterfinal clash against Togo.

Both Togo and Burkina Faso are chasing their debut Africa Cup semifinal appearance when they meet in Sundays showdown at Mbombela Stadium in Nelspruit.

Burkina Faso frustrated Zambia to a 0-0 draw to eject the outgoing champions from the 2013 competition in the group stage.

“Of course it is boost, because also against Nigeria is a very big football nation with a lot of talented player who play in the highest leagues and then beating Ethiopia with 10 against 11 players,” Put told LT Sports in Nelspruit ahead of Sundays game.

Burkina Faso drew 1-1 with Nigeria before beating Ethiopia 4-0 before holding Zambia to a scoreless result.

“Then Zambia who won the championship last year, it is motivating and now we hope to show something against Togo,” Put said.

  4. Burkina Faso are likely to get it. They have even carried a witch doctor with them at the tournament. No wonder Zambian players were failing to shot at goal even when they had a chance to shoot.

  5. I ddnt like this boasting coming from burkina Faso.Zambia was eliminated by collectively results from 3 games.we played the last game with Burkina Faso but that does not mean they are solely responsible 4 our early exit.
