Came to town Cup favourites Ivory Coast
To shake Burkina Faso from pillar to post

Stubborn tactics see a goalless draw
Drogba failed to connect with the elusive upper jaw

For this Group B match at the Estadio do Cabinda
Ivorians were squeezed victims to the Anaconda

Halilhodzic's team dominated possession
Held by Burkinabe defensive aggression
