Burkina Faso scored two goals in two minutes to eliminate holders Cameroon with a 2-1 victory in their Group C U17 Africa Cup of Nations on Sunday in Annaba.

All hopes of squeezing in as one of the best two third-placed teams also were dashed in Group B after South Africa progressed by scoring more goals, as they both finished with a -3 goal difference.
