Traore – the last game is like a final

“Of course, but football is not a fair game, so we drew, we are just going to take it like this and keep working.”

The Stallions must now beat Guinea-Bissau in their final Group A match on Sunday to guarantee progress to the last eight.

“We have an important game … from that we can get qualified … for sure the last game is like a final for all the teams.”

Traore does not believe that Burkina Faso have an advantage in the fact that they are taking on group underdogs Guinea-Bissau in their final match.

“I wouldn’t say that because in today’s football there are no small teams,” he added.

“Teams are giving more, running more and getting results. It doesn’t matter if you have the best players in the team, if the team doesn’t run, doesn’t work, it (winning) is not possible.”
