Burkina Faso and Mauritania reached half-time level at 0-0 in their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying match at the Stade du 4-Aout in Ouagadougou on Friday, 13 November 2026.

The third-round fixture has yet to produce a goal, despite Burkina Faso creating a number of openings during the first half.

The Etalons applied sustained pressure but could not find a way through Mauritania’s defence. Amir Abdou’s side repeatedly pushed forward, only to be denied by a well-organised opposition that held firm.

Burkina Faso must now improve their finishing after the interval if they are to take control of the match and claim all three points.
