Tags: Burkina Faso Sports Football Referee Ouangraoua Moumoun
A Burkinabe referee collapsed and died on Wednesday in the West African country’s capital Ouagadougou while undergoing a fitness test.
 
Ouangraoua Moumouni, who was also a section secretary general of the country’s referee union, UNAF, was taking a test organised by FIFA and the Burkina Faso Football Federation (FBF), when he dropped down on the pitch in the presence of officials.
 
The 38-year-old man was pronounced dead moments later by medics at the Ouagadougou stadium, but autopsy was rejected by his family, who decided to lay him to rest the same day.
 
Moumouni regularly officiated matches in the Burkina Faso Ligue 1 and Caf competitions.

Kolo Toure confirms Manchester City exit

Tags: Kolo Toure Ivory Coast Sports Manchester City Football
Ivory Coast international Kolo Toure has confirmed he would leave Manchester City by the end of the season but gave no details of where he is heading.
 
The 32-year-old defender was signed from Arsenal in 2009 for £16 million but has had a diminishing playing time at Etihad Stadium, featuring in just 12 matches in the 2012-13 season, with no signal from the management for a contract renewal.
 
“I’ve been here for almost four years, including two fantastic seasons during which I played a lot,” Toure told Sky Sports on Thursday.
 
“I was later joined by my brother Yaya, which was a wonderful experience because of the songs that fans have been composing for us both. I will miss the town. My family is here and my kids love this place.
 
“I’ve been waiting for a sign from City officials for two months now, but nothing is coming forth, and then I have started thinking of my future. My first choice of destination remains England. When I left Ivory Coast in 2002 I came straight to England and have been here all these years. I know no other culture in Europe. It is important that I remain here,” he said.
 
French club Monaco have shown interest in the Ivorian but said talks were yet to be opened with the player’s agent.

Ivory Coast defeat Nigeria to win African U-17 title

The Ivory Coast emerged winners of the African Under-17 Championship in Morocco after defeating Nigeria on penalties on Saturday.
 
The game ended 1-1 in regulation time and went straight to penalties accordance to FIFA regulation for the under-17s.
 
The Ivorians won the spot kick by 5-4.
 
The Nigerians began well with Izu Omego putting his team one goal up after seven minutes.
 
Ivory Coast struggled to cope with the pacy Nigerians until the 26th minute when Chris Bile Bedia evened the game.
 
Bedia's goal came against the run of play after poor defending by the Nigerian led to goalkeeper, Adeyinka Adewale gifting the ball after coming off his line.
 
Within the next six minutes, Ifeanyi Matthew and Chiedbere Nwakali came close to restoring Nigeria's lead before the break.
 
Three minutes into the second half, Musa Yahaya was played into a scoring opportunity with sight at goal after a superb offensive play but he could only hit the side-net.
 
On 52 minutes, Bedia was in position to score a second goal for the Ivorians with a close range header but Adewale reacted well.
 
The tournament's leading scorer, Isaac Success, found himself inside the Ivory Coast's penalty area but shot really wide.
 
Inside the last 20 minutes, Nigeria thought they had a penalty shout when Success was bundled down in the goal area by four Ivorian defenders.
 
But with 16 minutes left, goalscorer Omego was sent off by the centre referee, Mahamadou Keita from Mali for an elbow offence.
 
However, it was Nwakali's miss during the penalty shootout that proved to be Nigeria's undoing as Franck Kessie, Jean Chester Diallo, Bekanty Angban, Aboubacar Keita and Dogbole Niangbo scored all five kicks for the Ivorians to be crowned African champions.

Africa U-17: Nigeria beat Tunisia to reach final

Nigeria’s Golden Eaglets have qualified for the final match of the 2013 Africa U-17 Championships after cruising to a 4-2 win over their Tunisian counterparts.

 The Eaglets were quick to scoring as Kelechi Iheanacho put Nigeria in the lead with just two minutes into the game. And they quickly doubled the lead ten minutes later when Musa Yahaya scored. Isaac Success scored the third goal for Nigeria.
 
 Tunisia pulled one back following poor defending from the Eaglets when Mohamed Larbi scored in the 25th minute. Soon afterwards, the North Africans reduced the margin when Hazem Hassen scored and the first half ended at 3-2.
 
Both sides were very competitive at resumption of play but it was the Nigerians that hit the net again through Yahaya in the 58th minute to secure a place in the final.
 
 “We are very happy to qualify for the final because our aim was to come here and win this trophy and make Nigerians happy,” Chidera Ezeh said at the post match conference.
 
“We are happy to be in the final and as usual, we will be waiting for instructions from our coaches to play against Ivory Coast in the final.”
 
Coach Manu Garba gave thanks to God for helping the team reach the final stage of the championship even as he promised the Ivorians a tougher game.
 
“The final match against Ivory Coast on Saturday is going to be a different ball game because we were unlucky when they beat us 1-0 in the group stage. We are going to play a better game because we now know them better.”
 
Tunisian coach Ben Soltane Abdelhay equally said that it was a difficult game for both teams but admitted that the Nigerians were stronger and deserved their place in the final.
 
He said, “It was a tough match for us because Nigeria were stronger physically. The temperature affected us too but that is not taking anything away from Nigeria.”
 
Saturday’s final between Nigeria and Ivory Coast will be the first at this level but it will be Nigeria’s fourth final appearance. The Eaglets conquered the continent twice in 2001 and 2007 but were unsuccessful in 1995.
