Burkina Faso’s squad crossed Buenos Aires in the space of a single matchday, arriving at Ezeiza shortly before facing Argentina, the world runners-up, at the Monumental.
The African visitors received warm applause inside the stadium as they took part in the occasion against the South American hosts. Their stay in the Argentine capital was brief, with the delegation setting off quickly for the return journey home after the match.
It was a fleeting stop in one of football’s grand settings: a rapid arrival, an appearance at the Monumental and a prompt departure for Burkina Faso.
