Doha: Burkina Faso striker Mohamed Zongo, who scored against Germany's U17 National Team, explained to AIB on Saturday evening in the Qatari capital how he achieved his masterpiece to send his country to the round of 16 of the World Cup in their category.

According to Burkina Information Agency, the young striker shared the details of his pivotal moment in the match.
