The two-time AFCON champions created numerous opportunities in the first half, nearly breaking the deadlock after a mistake by Herv\u00e9 Koffi. They came close again when Baghdad Bounedjah exploited a defensive error, narrowly missing the target.<\/p>\n<p>Burkina Faso, struggling to clear their lines, survived a late scare in the first half, with Koffi denying Sofiane Feghouli from close range. Surprisingly, after enduring relentless Algerian attacks, Burkina Faso took the lead when Mohamed Konat\u00e9 headed in a deep cross from Abdoul Tapsoba, extending their AFCON scoring streak to 16 matches.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kahawatungu.com\/senegal-clinches-knockout-spot-in-afcon-with-3-1-victory-over-cameroon\/\">Senegal Clinches Knockout Spot in AFCON with 3-1 Victory Over Cameroon<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having not scored more than one goal in any of their last five AFCON games, Algeria needed at least two in the second half to keep their hopes of topping Group D alive, as Burkina Faso looked set to secure progression with a match to spare. Fortunately for Algerian fans, they leveled shortly after the break when a deflected free-kick fell to Nabil Bentaleb, whose shot was then converted by Bounedjah. Despite restoring parity, Bounedjah missed a chance to secure a brace, heading wide at the back post.<\/p>\n<p>Issa Kabor\u00e9, instrumental in Burkina Faso&#8217;s previous victory over Mauritania, played a key role again as his team was awarded another penalty. This time, Rayan A\u00eft-Nouri&#8217;s mistimed clearance caught Kabor\u00e9, allowing substitute Bertrand Traor\u00e9 to net his second goal of the tournament from the spot.<\/p>\n<p>With the crowd behind them, West Africa fought hard, but Bounedjah rescued a point with a powerful header from a corner, tying him for the top spot on the AFCON scoring charts. Burkina Faso, with four points, is in a favorable position to qualify from Group D, while Algeria, aiming to replicate their 1984 semi-final feat when Ivory Coast hosted AFCON, will likely need a win against Mauritania in their final group match to advance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Algeria clinched a dramatic late draw against Burkina Faso in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), securing their second consecutive draw in Group D and extending their streak of five AFCON games without a victory since claiming the championship in 2019 (D3, L2). \u231a\ufe0f FULL-TIME!
