In this International Friendly match between Mauritania and Burkina Faso that took place on the 17th October 2023, Burkina Faso convincingly pulled off a victory, with a final scoreline of 2-1.

A key factor determining the match outcome was the number of shots on target. Burkina Faso had 7 shots on target compared to the home team's 5, giving them a higher potential for scoring. Despite similar attempts with both teams having 5 shots off target, Burkina Faso proved to be more accurate, which resulted in a higher conversion rate.

In terms of goalkeeping, the home team's goalkeeper made 5 saves, while the away team's goalkeeper made 4, indicating that both teams were offensively active but the away team had the edge as they managed to test the opposition goalkeeper slightly more frequently.

Moreover, Mauritania committed more fouls (10) than Burkina Faso (8), which could have disrupted their flow of play and given the away team more opportunities for set-pieces. With the equivalent number of substitutions by both teams, it demonstrates similar tactical switches were employed possibly aiming to influence the gameplay during the match.

Additionally, the home team's 4 corner kicks versus Burkina Faso's 5, and offsides count of 3 against Burkina Faso's 2 implies that both teams were very closely matched in terms of attacking chances and offensive aggression. But the conversion efficiency played a vital role in Burkina Faso's ultimate victory.

Interestingly, the match was a fairly disciplined one with no red or yellow cards handed out, indicating clean gameplay, adherence to fair play principles, and respect for the rules of the game from both sides.

In conclusion, while Mauritania was equally determined and displayed similar aggressive tactics as Burkina Faso, the latter's superior conversion rate from their shot on target along with their ability to minimize fouls made them come out on top in this fixture.
