Burkina Faso 1-2 Angola

Angola have claimed a 2-1 win over Burkina Faso in Group B of the Africa Cup of Nations.

After a first half of few opportunities, Angola took the lead two minutes after the break as Mateus fired a left-footed drive into the corner of the net.

Burkina Faso drew level just before the hour when Alain Traore's curled free kick flew past the goalkeeper.

Angola found the winner 20 minutes from time when former Manchester United striker Manucho drilled an unstoppable left-footed strike into the Faso net.
