The Africa Cup of Nations has produced a record 116 goals with two matches to go, but history suggests the final between hosts Ivory Coast and Nigeria on Sunday could be a low-scoring affair. There have been only 10 goals in the past 10 finals of the African football showpiece, and six of those came in just two title deciders. Hosts Tunisia defeated Morocco 2-1 in 2004 and Cameroon came from behind against Mohamed Salah-inspired Egypt 13 years later to succeed by the same score.
Evidence Makgopa and Teboho Mokoena scored in the second half for South Africa as the Bafana Bafana once again proved a bogey team for the Atlas Lions, whose Achraf Hakimi missed a penalty.
OUAGADOUGOU : Burkina Faso have decided not to renew the contract of coach Hubert Velud after their Africa Cup of Nations last-16 exit, the country’s football federation said on Friday.
