Video: Egypt will miss U-17 World Cup / Egypt 0-4 Burkina Faso

Egypt,U-17 World Cup,Egypt 0-4 Burkina Faso

Egypt suffered a stunning 4-0 defeat by Burkina Faso in the African U-17 Championship on Friday to miss out on a place in the World Cup finals in Mexico.

The error-prone Pharaohs were embarrassed by Burkina Faso, who were inspired by a superb display from 15-year-old prodigy Bertrand Traore after he scored twice and caused opposing defenders all sorts of problems throughout the match.

Egypt needed a win to book a last-four berth and reach the summer’s World Cup but ended up with just three points from as many games in Group A.

Burkina Faso joined group leaders Rwanda in the semi finals and both sides also qualified for the World Cup.

Hard luck for Egypt.
