Burkina Faso on the left, the opponent on the right. Compare the two columns rather than one figure alone: winning possession or shots has never won a match on its own.

One scoreline can cover two completely different matches. The bar shows how many minutes Burkina Faso spent ahead, level and behind; the dots show when the goals arrived; the table compares the two halves. A missing figure is one the data provider did not publish for this match, not a zero.

In plain terms

Each line is attempts completed out of attempts made: 66/95 means 66 completed from 95 tried. Burkina Faso on the left, the opponent on the right, in the same match — the only comparison that holds, since both sides played the same pitch on the same night. Completing a phase is not winning it: a team can complete its passes and create nothing.

In plain terms

These are raw counts, not ratings: “25/30” means 25 passes completed from 30 attempted. There is no man of the match here, because adding tackles and passes into a single score would decide on your behalf what matters in a game. Players the data provider did not cover in detail are not in the table.
