Koné and En-Nesyri win with their national teams

Malaguistas, Bakary Koné and Youssef En-Nesyri were on international duty this Sunday in Africa. Both were in the starting line-up and won with their respective countries.

On the one hand, Koné served as captain in the starting-11 in the Burkina Faso defence, who defeated Botswana by 2-1 with goals from Nakoulma and Diawara.  After 6 games, Burkina Faso share the lead with Uganda, tied on 13 points, in the Group D qualifier for the Africa Cup taking place in Gabon in 2017.

In addition, En-Nesyri was positioned upfront in Morocco’s starting-11, his second call-up by the country’s first team, as they defeated São Tomé and Príncipe by 2-0 with goals from Ziyech (p.) and Bouhaddouz.  The North Africans are in the Group F top spot with 16 points, for the upcoming Africa Cup taking place in Gabon in 2017.
