Bata, Equatorial Guinea - Host Equatorial Guinea and Burkina Faso both wasted plenty of chances in a 0-0 draw at the start of the second round of group games at the African Cup of Nations on Wednesday.
Burkina Faso's Alain Traore twice hit the post in the first half. Equatorial Guinea's Javier Balboa twice created goal-scoring opportunities for teammates in the second half, only for their shots to fly wide.
The result leaves Group A wide open, with just two points separating the top team from the bottom team ahead of Wednesday's second game, when Gabon plays Republic of Congo.
Burkina Faso, the 2013 finalist, dominated the first half. The hosts were better in the second as their fans urged them on at Bata Stadium.
