UFOA B U20: Burkina Faso routs Nigeria 3-0 at halftime

Blistering start from the Burkina Faso U20 Stallions. At halftime, Burkina Faso holds a commanding 3-0 lead over Nigeria in this opening quarterfinal of the tournament. Oscar Barro's boys are just 45 minutes away from booking their ticket to the U20 Africa Cup of Nations.

A flawless first half

Burkina Faso took control from the first whistle and never let up.

1-0, Alassana Bagayoko opens the scoring.

2-0, Loukman Achraf Tapsoba, the top scorer at the 2025 U17 AFCON, shows his finishing touch.

3-0, Issouf, Bayern Munich's rising star, caps it off with a header. Three goals, three different styles, and total dominance from the Stallions in this first quarterfinal.

45 minutes from the U20 AFCON

With this scoreline, Burkina Faso has one foot firmly in the next round. Nigeria looks shell-shocked and has barely made an impact in the first half. For Burkina Faso, the objective is clear: manage the game, concede nothing, and punch their ticket for the U20 AFCON.

The U20 Stallions have made a statement. All eyes on the second half to seal the deal and book their place.
