Etoile filante de Ouagadougou (EFO) won the 36th edition of the Coupe du Faso on Sunday , its 14th trophy in the history of the competition, beating at the municipal stadium Issoufou Joseph Conombo, Salitas FC by the score without appeal from 3 goals to 0. Halftime: 0-0.
Between lady Coupe du Faso and the EFO it is the perfect love. It's sealed. This Sunday, May 28, she once again demonstrated. Uncomfortable in the league, Etoile shone with all its brilliance in the cup, a surprise since it fought fiercely to stay in the elite.
Facing Salitas for the Faso Cup, she showed all her class. After having been able to contain the repeated assaults of the Colombes de Ouaga 2000 at the start of the game until the break, the EFO released their heavy artillery in the second half to stifle their opponent. The right striker of the Stellistes Honoré Camille Yé, twice knew how to make the difference.
After sweeping the Colombes defence, the star-studded serial scorer unstoppably struck on his side, between the legs of Salitas Sibiri goalkeeper Paul Kaganbèga (49' ) . After the goal from Ange Cyriaque Ouédraogo (67 ' ), Yé came back to triple the lead, his double of the evening (80 ' ).
Mass has been said. The Doves now have lead in the wings despite the entries of their game agent Ali Vital Ouédraogo and the twirling Saabane Kaboré. The AS Douanes runner-up team in Ligue 1 this season was unrecognizable on all counts. Not responding.
Neither the top scorer of the season the Ivorian Salif Bagaté, nor the Senegalese Badji Pape Insa made the weight. Salitas' goals got bogged down. Playing in the African countryside falls by the wayside. His assistant coach Ambass Ouédraogo can't believe it. In a low tone, he reassures that his team will get back to work for the upcoming competitions. It is the EFO who will therefore defend the colors of Burkina Faso in the CAF Cup.
Samuel Eto'o as guest star
The president of the transition, captain Ibrahim Traoré attended the meeting. It was he who kicked off the game. Even if he did not speak (before and after the match), the head of state received hearty ovations.
From his entrance to the stadium to the kick-off of the match, passing through the usual greetings from the two teams, the massively outgoing public never stopped cheering the President of the Transition, chanting "IB, IB, IB..." . It was the applause that accompanied him to his chair.
But before the president of the Transition arrived, it was the president of the Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) and icon of African and world football Samuel Eto'o Fils who had the favor of the public. The former member of FC Barcelona (Spain), invited by his Burkinabè counterpart Lazare Banssé, presented the prize for the best AJSB player of the month for May to Salif Bagaté (Salitas FC) and toured the stadium to take a bath in crowd.
This created more motivation for the 22 players to evolve in front of these personalities in this match of a good level.
The EFO was more effective than Salitas FC in the game. For its victory the Stellistes won the sum of 10 million FCFA, the trophy, 40 gold medals and a game of jerseys, leaving 7.5 million, 40 medals and a game of jerseys to his challenger Salitas.
It was AS Douanes who won the bronze medal (3rd place ) on Friday by beating AS Police on penalties by 7 to 6. In addition to the bronze medal, the Gabelous pocketed the sum of 5 millions. AS Police ranked 4 th is doing with 2.5 million.
