Ligue 1: ASFA-Y and EFO separate back to back in the “Fasico”

ASFA-Y and EFO separated with a draw of 0 goals everywhere in the Fasico (derby) which opposed them Sunday evening at the municipal stadium Issoufou Joseph Conombo in Ouagadougou, during the 25th day of the Burkinabè Ligue 1.

The long-awaited breath of fresh air from the EFO or ASFA-Y in the race to stay in the Fasofoot elite did not see the light of day in this Fasico. The game took a hit on the stakes. Each team has a system in place to protect their bases.

The public did not haggle over their trip despite the match being broadcast on national television. The 2071 spectators mobilized for the occasion, remained on their thirst, those who wanted to see goals and spectacle.

EFO

The first period of the match was not rich in scoring opportunities. It was in the second period that there was more animation. It is the ASFA-Y which pushes more. His striker Ibrahim Koné with an acrobatic return finds the crossbar (55 ' ) from Salifou Coulibali.

The "Asfasian" line of attack gets underway but finds the rigorous central defender Abdoulaye Zongo dit Kouri on its way. It was in stoppage time (90+3) that EFO striker Moussa Rabo almost scored a nice lob, slammed by the ASFA-Y goalkeeper. The balance is then found and the two teams separate on a friendly result.

The fight for survival continues

EFO still remains in the red zone and ASFA-Y two points from relegation. For EFO coach Cheick Hamidou Ouattara, “a derby remains a derby. The point is not undeserved. If we won this match we would move to 12th place . That was the goal. Unfortunately we had an opposition which was there and which prevented us from progressing ”.

It was the Minister of Sports accompanied by the captain of the Cadet Stallions who kicked off the match

“Really the project was to win the 3 points. Both teams have the same strengths. Both teams are struggling but I think they will recover. Everyone will work to maintain themselves so that next season we can still have a derby between the two teams, ”he adds.

For the captain of the "Yellow and Green" of ASFA-Y Rachid Sana "what was difficult in this match is that it's a derby and a derby is not played but won. Each team wanted to have fun and please the public. Which made the game tough. There was a lot at stake”.

He continues that “we did what we could but it didn't work. But the point of zero is good to take. We decided not to record any more defeats to avoid the red zone.

Captain Sana adds that “it's the most watched game, the game where there is a lot more pressure. Supporters and managers come to put pressure on you. So even the game wasn't of good quality. There was fear in my stomach. Everyone avoided leaving their camp so as not to cash in”.

It was the minister in charge of sports Aboubakar Savadogo who kicked off the meeting. In the stands, the younger Stallions who are preparing for the CAN of their category this month in Algeria, attended the meeting.
