Finally a victory for the Cadet Stallions at the U17 World Cup. Beaten by France (3-0) and the United States (2-1), the Stallions simply had to win to save honor in the competition. They recorded their only victory of the competition by beating South Korea.

After leading the game throughout the start of the match, the Burkinabè saw their multiple attempts finally rewarded. Jack Diarra, starting this time, is well served by Baldé Souleymane Bah in the area.
With a shot with the tip of his foot, Jack Diarra slides the ball into the goals to allow Brahima Traoré’s Poulains to take the lead. The Burkinabè are more comfortable. But, the goal differential counts to rank among the four best third-ranked teams in order to reach the round of 16.
But no. After the break where the Stallions led with a narrow score, they were surprised. Barely back from the locker room (49th minute), Kim Myung-jun allows the South Koreans to return to level terms. Everything to redo. The Stallions increased their attacks and strikes on goal (15 against 2 for Korea in the 75th minute). South Korea U17’s only shot on target was a goal.
The Stallions then start again. The attacks follow one another. But, Souleymane Alio, Emmanuel Ouédraogo are very clumsy in front of goals. It was Aboubakar Sidiki Ouattara who finally found the fault with a clear strike. He puts the ball in the top corner. 2 to 1 for the U17 Stallions. But serenity is not required.
South Korea tries to equalize. Isidore Traoré makes a save at the end of the match. Despite this victory, the Burkinabè under-17s left the competition because they were not among the four best third-placed teams in the competition.
