Mauritania defeated Burkina Faso 1-0 in a high-stakes CHAN Group B match. Alassane Diop scored the winning goal from a penalty in first-half stoppage time, which was awarded after a VAR review for a foul on winger El Mami Tetah.
Burkina Faso’s chances were hurt when Abdoulaye Touré was shown a red card for violent conduct, leaving them to play with 10 men for over half of the match. Despite this disadvantage, Burkina Faso fought back in the second half and even hit the post, but Mauritania’s defense held firm.
The victory gives Mauritania seven points from four matches, placing them second in Group B behind Tanzania. The loss eliminated Burkina Faso from the tournament as they can no longer qualify for the knockout stage.
