Burkina Faso seal double to make first ever WAFCON appearance

Burkina Faso reached for the first time the finals of the TotalEnergies Women's Africa Cup of Nations, Morocco 2022 after a 1-0 win over Guinea-Bissau in the second leg, second round match in Porto-Novo on Wednesday.

A 6-0 first leg away win over Guinea Bissau at Estadio 24 de Setembro last Wednesday gave the Burkinabes a massive edge thanks to Juliette Nana's brace, Adele Kabre, Adama Congo, Madina Rouamba and Limata Nikiéma in Bissau.

Guinea-Bissau, on their own part, were eager to avoid shipping more goals in the second leg encounter as they visit Burkina Faso on their adopted home ground at Stade Charles de Gaulle in Benin.

The home side ensured they did enough to complete the double over the visitors when Juliette Nana netted 10 minutes from half time to grab the matchwinner.

The 7-0 win on aggregate guaranteed the Burkinabe back-to-back victory over their West African foes and also confirmed their maiden qualification to the 12-nation WAFCON for the first time in its history.

Burkina Faso are the fourth team to book a ticket to the continental showpiece as debutatants at this year's edition in July, after Burundi, Botswana and Togo also clinched their tickets to Morocco 2022.
