Maximo has warned Tanzania fans not to expect "miracles"
|
Tanzania got their qualifying campaign for the 2008 Cup of Nations off to the best possible start thanks to Mizal Khalfan's 65th-minute winner.
The Taifa Stars, who have not qualified for the finals since 1980, went ahead in the Group Seven tie in the 23rd minute when Burkina Faso's Paul Coulibaly turned the ball into his own net.
Burkina Faso struck back just before half-time, Abdoulaye Cisse finding the net in the 39th minute.
But Khalfan put the home side back in front midway through the second half, and his team were able to hold on.
Despite the win, Tanzania coach Brazilian Marcio Maximo warned fans not to expect too much, with the group also containing Senegal and Mozambique.
