00:00 We'll join them with the show presentation
00:04 And the 32 year old South African referee Abongile Tom now
00:24 Lovely ball into the middle, here's Guyra
00:28 Delivery to come, it looks a little too strong but Tapsoma gets on the end of it
00:31 Belahili has possession out on the near side, Aignouri
00:35 Cross into that major area and Foghouli was nearly there
00:38 Dayo gets a little touch and now the Kofi has his
00:41 Diagonal ball being attempted to pick up Belahili
00:46 He's got a solid first touch, now he has options waiting inside the area
00:49 Bounidjah, he decides to go himself, Kofi with a little touch
00:52 I think it was headed wide but Kofi taking no chances
00:57 And he carries that ball out to the far side and picked up by Yergo
00:59 It won't be shocking soon because all teams are just improving every day
01:05 Ball is spilled free, Bounidjah might try a shot here and just misses the target
01:10 Goal kick it'll be
01:13 Chip over the top into that danger area, ball that nearly reaches Foghouli
01:17 Zerouki does well to put pressure on Tapsoma and Algeria have a great chance here
01:21 Foghouli with a shot, carried away by Kofi
01:25 He could be alive here for Algeria but Belahili's effort is off target
01:28 When Bounidjah was waiting in space
01:31 And the second longest in history, they've scored in 15 consecutive matches at Burkina Faso
01:36 Can they extend their record today?
01:39 Cholchik, Ounate does exactly that but the offside flag is up
01:44 It will not count
01:47 Again it's that ball over the defence there
01:53 That's how it works for Burkina Faso, unfortunately
01:55 Looks like a little bit of an offside but we're not so sure
01:58 But that's a perfect ball to someone like Ounate who's good in the air
02:02 Perfect ball behind the defence there, they'll need more of that ball
02:06 We'll be in communication with Pierre Acho of Gabon
02:11 VAR says goal!
02:14 Burkina Faso have extended their scoring run at the Africa Cup of Nations to 16 consecutive matches
02:22 Mohamed Ounate who scored in both warm-up matches for Burkina Faso leading up to this tournament
02:27 Has given Burkina Faso the lead against Algeria in added time in the first half
02:34 That's a typical striker's goal from Ounate there
02:38 A really good ball over the defence of Algeria
02:41 Made the run such a good run there, perfect head up, perfect goal
02:46 One of the best goals of the tournament so far
02:50 He was absolutely at full stretch
02:52 But a man who wears jersey number 13, considered unlucky by some
02:59 What a delivery, a delightful, dexterous finish
03:08 Abdel Tapsova who scored against Algeria before creates this opportunity and Mohamed Ounate puts it away
03:19 Tapsova came off the bench in the last game, showed a lot of energy, a lot of willingness to go forward and create those chances
03:26 Today he's been given a chance to start and he's created such a lovely goal there
03:30 That's what you want from a substitute there, really proves himself that he deserves to be in the starting eleven
03:34 And it is Burkina Faso who's taking the lead 1-0 with a header of Ounate
03:46 And Burkina Faso's first step onto the round 16, we'll be right back with the highlights of the first half
03:52 The 23-year-old from USA, Joules in Belgium is on, charging run, Ounate is waiting centrally
03:59 Ounate can't find the connection he required
04:02 Burkina Faso looking to keep this ball alive, steals it from Mahrez, Platitore, just over
04:09 They seem inspired
04:18 Howell in the play there
04:20 Buleili
04:23 Driving ball, it falls kindly, it's fouled off
04:27 Mahdar Bounadjah has Algeria level
04:30 Five and a half minutes into the second half
04:33 And the wonderful scoring wizard Algeria does it again
04:40 He's got two goals in two games and Algeria back on level terms
04:46 He said earlier in the first half that this is one striker that is going to chase even the aimless balls
04:50 They look like they're useless balls but he chases them because he's got that eye just to want to score
04:55 And look at that, with his aggressiveness, just chased onto the one, he got the goal that he's looking for
05:00 A poacher's instinct, he's virtually unrivalled in that role
05:05 Belaheli's free kick bouncing around, a little touch forward, Kofi gets the save
05:09 But Bounadjah there to tidy up, puts it away, Bentaleb knocking it forward
05:16 The anticipation there from Bounadjah is amazing, he's just looking for that little opportunity
05:21 And he found it there in that space, second goal of the tournament for him
05:26 Lovely dink over the top, Amoura, Amoura, lovely control, delivery towards the post
05:33 Oh, that should have been another, how is that not put away by Bounadjah
05:41 Amoura, on at half time, looking to make a difference and already he has
05:45 Amoura searches for a shot at goal, it hits Dyle, Kabore now, up against Ait Nouri
05:50 An hour has gone in this tie, Kabore keeps the ball in play, down that far flank
05:55 Burkina Faso on the rampage again
05:58 Away from Ait Nouri, delivery to come, Tapsoma was waiting and Natal flicks it up
06:04 Mandra can't get underneath it but it's a foul on the keeper
06:10 Traore against Mandra
06:12 Traore, steers it home for Burkina Faso to reclaim their one goal advantage as they lead 2-1 against Algeria
06:21 Bouake bouncing as Burkina Faso back in front
06:29 And Bertrand does the business for his Burkinabe side
06:37 The two come and collect it there, Shodo is experienced there, he's confident in taking that penalty there
06:42 Such a beautiful penalty from Traore there
06:45 Bertrand Traore, his winner in the 1-0 victory over Mauritania and Burkina Faso's opener
06:51 Made him the third Burkinabe to score at three separate AFCONs after his brother Alain and Aristide Banser
06:58 He scored a double, both from the penalty mark so far this campaign
07:02 And he has been clinical
07:07 Adding an element of the talismanic once again
07:10 Yeah like I said, in this type of games possession counts for nothing
07:14 Algeria have had all the possession in the game but Burkina Faso are doing the scoring
07:18 So yeah, possession really counts for nothing if you don't make use of it
07:23 And this is similar, delivery, Slimani, Slimani still a chance, Kofi gets there first
07:32 The more vulnerable they are on the counter attack, Cabore makes another charging run
07:36 Cabore cuts inside, and is that going to be a free kick? No, says the referee
07:41 Salou feeds it out wide, Cabore thought about the delivery then looks to skip past his man
07:47 Whips it in to a danger area but the referee has seen the flag up from the assistant on the far side and signals goal kick
07:54 Fans on the brink of tears
07:59 Algeria have it in the back of the net and it's come from the set piece eventually
08:04 The celebrations as Bakhtan Bounidja has done it again
08:10 He will be cautioned for his celebration but his goal is glorious and will stand
08:16 Like I said early on, the lapsing concentration from Burkina Faso don't get punished because they are playing against a predator like Bounidja in the box there
08:27 You have to make two to two pounds on those type of deliveries in the box
08:30 You spoke about it just moments ago, just put it in the area for the tall players
08:36 You've got the predatory players like Slimani, like Bounidja
08:40 You've got your big boys in the box there, you want the best boy in the box, you know one of them is going to reach out to that boy
08:46 There we see Bounidja there, just, I mean, wow, that's just a perfect delivery, perfect headed goal from one of the best players in the tournament so far
08:56 Joint leading scorer now, Bakhtat Bounidja
08:58 Has his level with three goals alongside Emilio Nsouir who scored a hat-trick
09:04 Algeria maintain their excellent record against African opponents
09:10 Unbelievable definition of this match, it was Burkina Faso getting on to the next stage
09:19 But the striker, Bakhtat Bounidja said no, we'll have to see the run, stay tuned to PNSports
